Milsurps / Prohib SKS price

Just got my first gun and it was a Chinese SKS paid 850. Did I get ripped off?

It’s fair price for today’s market. You’ll hear people say it’s overpriced because they bought one years ago for 400.

It was only a little over a year ago that you could get one for $450 on sale so to be fair ya, they are quite severely overpriced

Bass Pro had them go on sale, wooden stocked type 56, for $530 back in December or January. Sold out real fast though. I almost bought a second one for that steal of a price. Bought my first one last year for $500.
