Chinese SKS

Post by Sonny »

Last year I ordered a Chinese SKS from Cabelas and they sent me a beat up Sino-Soviet piece of crap. :vsad:

This year I got lucky and they sent me a pretty darn nice one. :thumbsup:

All the numbers match except for the magazine. The wood looks good but there is a star stamped on the right side and I don't know what it means. :vconfused:
The blueing looks good too.Anyways have a look.

That is a good looking rifle. The star is interesting. I would like to think that it was a N. Korean star, but that star gets a lot of usage.

The NVA Star was on the receivers I think, been a while since I saw one.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I had another Chinese SKS that had a star on the receiver next to the serial number but not on the stock.

I'm guessing that I sold about 50 guns that I now regret. :vsad: :vsad:

That’s a nice piece! Cabelas near me only has a rack full of crummy yugo SKS models, no bayonets, and the wood all looks like they were run over... $500 and up

Must be nice to have a Cabela's near you. We have a Bass Pro Shop nearby but the chances of finding a war surplus rifle are non-existent.

The surplus stuff my candelas has is usually way over priced and either really beat up, or rusty. They have a bunch of side by side and over/under shotguns that came in used, like 20 of each, that are pretty nice but still
Expensive.

I got what I believe to be an unfired laminated stock Izhevsk hex receiver from my cabelas for $349... that was a median cost for a decent rifle... low end was $279 for really pitted rusty round receivers, and up to like $600 for some Finn models. Their prices are all over the place on used stuff. I’ve gotten nearly unfired rifles there “used” for half price, and I’ve paid more than I want to for some as well.

Look at the rusty round receivers , there might be a '41 Tula laying around.
