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?

The fact that the SKS has been resilient against all gun bans really adds a deeper meaning to it as a rifle in my opinion. It's the last line of defense and is what's keeping the gun community strong and enthusiastic. I don't have one but I really want one just for the simple fact that it's an icon of Canadian liberty at this point.

You don't want one.

You want two.
