Milsurps / Prohib SKS D value

Post image

Someone asked recently on the value of an SKS D. This was one I saw sell back in February. Never did I think an SKS D would be worth 3500 after tax, but here we are I guess.

Mind blowing to anyone who had their license 10+ years ago.

I'm people, it's me. But I get the appeal of the Makasi still

I'm cool with $2500 for the Makasi if it proves to be reliable and legal in a year or so.

Lots of Canadian firearms history to be made between then and now.

It just makes me sad that we had more affordable options that were quality just a few years ago. But I'm okay with spending $2500 on something like that as long as it's reliable and durable.

This scary right-out-of-the-box 5.56NATO eater is going to be a litmus test for Gary in the face of the SCoC reversing a lot of their retroactive progress through OICs.

The Makasi MK-15 Gen 2 or 3 may prove to be a better investment or I'd like to hear reliable and durable noises about Gen 1 first.

Roll them bones.
