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.

I got mine be for $125 back 15ish years ago. It’s missing the receiver currently, haven’t found one to buy yet.

I've seen a few receivers for sale lately. Doctor Deals (heard they're kinda sketchy but do deliver), and Frontier Firearms (better option) both had barreled actions for around $200 or $300 a little while ago. Probably still have them. If you have all the other parts, that would be the cheapest way to reassemble it
