[DuneHopper]

I believe it's kind of high priced, too, but you're the one to make the decision.

I just saw a guy tickled to death that he found a Marlin Camp Carbine for $600. I turned one down ages ago for $200 and I'm thinkin maybe I made a mistake. (I didn't, but economics often change perception)

Saw a brick of Remington golden bullets at Sportsman's for $35 earlier. To be honest though, I was just surprised to see them in stock. They also had the Bucket 'o Bullets for $99

Too high, imho. And as some linked above, they can still be had for less.

It has been a long time since I've done the SKS thing. Ah, the late 90s when they were floating around a C-Note and ammo was ultra cheap.

There are a couple of Chinese SKS for sale on this forum in the classifieds for $350.00. Classic Firearms usually has some nice one's but they will cost you close to $500.00 by the time you pay for shipping and the FFL transfer fee. If you have really deep pockets they sell them by the crate.

Are you sure it was a Yugo and not a Russian, perhaps super secret special model of Russian sks? Even then, that's steep. I recently saw an outfit selling "hand selected" yugos for $350

Even for a mint Russian Simonov from 1953 that would be stupid overpriced.

The gunshop owner threw in a free Norinco with a screwed in barrel when I got my M1A.

To be honest, it would be difficult to mistake a Yugo SKS for a Russian one.

In the early 2000s at the PDX gun show I remember seeing boxes of 5 for $270 (thats 5 SKSs for $270). New in cosmoline.

 

[DRZ400S]

So my local pawn shop has a yugo SKS with grenade launcher, in good condition and they're asking $600 for it and will not budge on price. I am just curious if thats a good price for said gun?

For $600 I'll build you a 7.62x39 AR-47

Do you work for Ruger and will you pay me $1000 to touch it?
