Assuming it’s a Russian (nice silver carrier and most tapcos were Russian) - receiver $800

Tapco stock - $150

KD (or whatever brand) rail - $100

Temu accessories - $50 for all?

About $1100 if you were to buy all new (or used online). Don’t know the condition of anything, and it seems to not have a mag in it? I’d offer 950 or 1000 for her. Good luck

Are Tapco stocks much better than ATI stocks?

Because they still sell ATI stock  Sks rifles for like 750. So I'd value this even less than you 

But I know nothing about stocks, so maybe Tapco is much better! That plus the rail might make with worth the extra 200

Tapcos were one of the original sks stocks, and built in a better quality than ati. No sharp edges, less rattle, and a better feel overall.

Don’t forget ATI rifles are sold in Chinese receivers, which are worth about 100 less.

You are correct the rail does add 100 of value. Won’t find any for cheaper than that with tax. I sell these all the time online, gotta keep up with the current prices

Good info! So a better stock,  and a better receiver and a rail, your price makes more sense!
