Local guy wanting $900.

I've found a few for the $600-ish range, but not matching, or a tickler, or just abused.

I decided to stick with the OG and get a tactical stock one day if I'm inclined. Anyway, that advice helped on a previous post, but many in it also aren't SKS fans.

So for the fans, this is the cleanest example I've found around here. Fair deal?

I have only one question. Why is the rear sight looking like a Russian part? The rear sights of ticklers have a Roman number 3 on it.

Yours has a Russian L on it. Interesting.

Is this from 296?

It's not the Russian letter, it's just an "n". Sometimes they put a "D" on these later model rifles.

Earlier ones has 3 lines as in the Chinese character, but the later models (this is a 1978), use the more common Russian style ladder sight and bolt carrier.
