Russian SKS Tula in 7.62 x 39 polished bolt with bayonet ,semi automatic..comes with 280 rounds on stripper clips,sling,ammo holder and original shipping wooden box in great condition.all matching numbers..nc residents with valid id... 425 or BEST OFFER. I offered him 400 and he said he'd take it.

What year? I paid $450 for my '51 Russian SKS from a local gun shop with no ammo. But they did throw in a nice hard case.

He didnt mention an exact date he said if he remember right that was a 1957 but I don't think they made them up to 1957.

Me personally, if he said he would take $400, I would arrange a meeting soon and take the cash with me. The one picture looks good. I have never seen the wooden shipping crate, but I am others on here have.

$400 up here would be a good price for a Russian regardless of whether it was a refurb or not.

I've never deal with sks's so is there stuff to watch out for?

Not usually a lot to worry about with a Russian SKS. They are pretty tough, and hold their value.

Early ones had a non-chromed bore, so just take a peek down the bore if it from pre-'52.

Id be omw with cash for $400.

got a call from the guy with the rifle about an hour after my last post he was on his way to sell it to a guy who contacted him the day before. I missed two deals two a 1943 german mauser for $150 and then this..

Sometimes it rains shit and you forgot the umbrella, it happens, other things will come along sooner or later.

I'd say its a good deal but I like to have either of these availale. 1. plentiful pics 2. handle/see the gun in person. $400.00 for a Russian SKS is good in todays market.
