Recommendations on SKS

[u/Western_Wish4280]

Hi, hope youre all doing great.

My last post here was asking on advice on whether to buy my buddy's sks or not. Apparently the sale didnt go through and he got an outrageous offer for it and sold it off.

Ever since that, i have been looking to get my hands on an sks.

Dont care if it gets banned anymore. A classic canadian staple and ill be buying it regardless only if i can get my hands on one.

Have been out of luck in New brunswick trying to get one for sub 1200$ . Was looking at firearms outlet and saw multiple still in stock.

Need recommendations/ reviews of the ones you guys and gals already own and the ones to STAY AWAY FROM BUYING.

Even if do get one, itll be very hard to check it in person as ill be trying to get her shipped all around canada. So please guide me on where to buy(already know gunpost and townpost) and which model to buy.

Thanks a ton in advance.

P.S: was willing to get the ATI stock one in the picture as a last resort.

Why not try gotenda? They have a Chinese with a blade bayonet for 900. Should be free shipping,  so just add tax. It will definitely be under 1200 to your door

I went through gotenda and holy shit 10/10. Is a chinese one better than the russian one??

Depends on which chinese. The french tickler is the best you can buy, made the most recently (with all the chinese advances in technique and machining etc). There used to be a lot of them, idk if Tenda has any left though.
