Buy recommendations Why are Chinese sks so expensive now?

Post image

I spent $450 in December 2024 for my Chinese sks. My dad just got his pal and I was looking to get one for him and it’s $850 now? What? Why did the price almost double in just over a year?

Supply and demand. It’s still the cheapest, most reliable, and safest semi auto to purchase even after the price increase.

Alternatives are Turkish crap, M1 Garands at $3k, or likely to be banned Henry homesteader at $1.2k.

Henry has originally said its default capacity is 5 shots therefore its basically un bannable with the argument even if there is a loophole in the law where it can legally hold 10 with glock or smithandWesson mags
