Buy recommendations Yet Another SKS I Want
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?

Man, I want a Chinese SKS in this good of condition. Either a model similar to yours or a spike bayonet example from factory 26. I just have a majorly hard time paying the asking price of some folks these days. I bought 2 Russian refurbs in 2014 for 450$ total shipped across the country to my house. Gave the nicer one to my best friend and kept the one that's more of a beater. Still have it. But I can't wrap my head around paying the better part of a grand for one these days. They're nice, sure, and i love them for what they are. But for that kind of money, I'd look at a decent bolt action, even in the same caliber if you'd like, before considering an SKS. Prices have just gotten out of hand.
