Chinese SKS Pricing

[akmewon]

I read some articles where back in the day you could buy them for $59 or they even came free when you bought 1k rounds of ammo.

not 59 bux but in canada it comes with an expensive 1200 rounds eh..

I wouldn't pay anything for a federal firearms violation ( 100% original except for the duckbill magazine ), look it up, 922r. good luck with your sale, there will be any number of willing idiots to buy it.

Good point. Something that most people don't even think about. I've even seen gun stores selling SKS's configured as 922r violations.

The Dollar value is further skewed by our laws. Russian Sks's ( best of breed) sell for under $200 in Canada, at just about about every little store. Our Federal Arms Embargoes pump up our prices considerably. I'd love to have a beautiful Russian sks, but can't afford more than my Russian Sneak, that came in as Chinese.
