SKS Russian What can I get for it?

[ron]

I have a real pretty Russian. Every part on this rifle has a matching serial number. and original finish on all wood and metal parts.
Not any wear on the metal action parts but I don't think I can claim it is unissued.
I see crazy prices on Gunbrocker for SKS rifles not as good condition as this one. Are they really getting $1500 to $2000??

Beautiful rifle there...
My best guess here is something like $400-$600 for a real world price...depending on when and where you try to sell it.

I like the SKS series of rifles...sure wish I would have kept one of the ones that I owned...sigh

Things gorgeous!

Looks like a no refurb. What year's on the cover?

 

[Unka-Boo]

Need more pics.....in the white bolt leans towards non-refurb, but you never know.
They can bring some stupid prices, but that doesnt necessarily mean yours will.

I have bought and sold several Chineese and Russian SKS rifles and carbines over the years. I kept this one since she is so pretty.

Tula's command a premium, and if it's all matching and non-refurbed, that's another couple hundred on top of that. In the condition and other aspects in mind, I could see this type of thing probably on GunBroker for 700 minimum.

Has the stock been coated with urethane?

 

[Skully]

Loc 550 to 650 GB 700 but I've found good ones at 550 on GB if I wait.

 

[03A3Sporter]

I have not kept up with the valuation on the guns , because they have tended to go up and down in price with panics etc. They are clearly more valuable now than years back. I still have a unfired NIB Chicom rifle that I will sell at some point when the price makes it advantageous for me to do so.

Are you selling her?

 

[Phantom Man]

Some of the very early ones with the straight gas exit block may bring more but I think yours would bring around $750 right now. I think the prices will be coming down over the next months as the economy grinds to a crawl. Lovely Ruskie..!

 

[Porter]

6-700 dollars, that's a nice one. I have a tula that's a keeper.

 

[USMC1911]

I have had and currently own a few Russians. If a true number match (including the stock) and not a refurbished that is a 700+ gun. Have sold several refurbished models for 550-650 over the last year. Is the safety knurled? That is a great example!

Are you selling her?

Thinking about it. But I am also thinking of selling another M1.

 

[CLee0507]

Un-molested Russian's in that condition are a rarity these days. Somewhere in the $500-$700 range to the buyer who knows what it is. So sad, one of my biggest regrets was selling the one I had in similar condition. I remember in the early 90's these were sold "new" for $79-$100 in 55gal barrels at gun shops.

They were all the rage back then. My dad bought one for my 13th birthday, and two of my uncles bought Norinco Type-56's, man did we have a blast shooting that $1.99 Chinese x39 ammo!!! Those were the days...

 

[RedRover]

$700-$800(due to condition)

I was tracking them for quite a while on GB, while I was in the market for one in like/same condition. I was hoping to find one for less than $600 to no avail.

Sure, plenty of marred ones @ <$600, but not one nice and pretty like yours(what I was looking for).

I'll give you 6 bills for yours.

Is your Russian SKS up for a possible sale if you still have it. I would very much be interested in this rifle if your willing to sell it. I am in Washington state.

Let me know,
