Can't believe I bought mine for $200 way back when. At the time, it was high end because of Russian made.

You can get them cheaper, but they won't look that good.
That one costs what it costs for two reasons 1) It's a Tula, these are the top dollar SKSs 2) That's a beautiful stock, it costs more than one with a less attractive stock. I would love, love, love to have one like that in the safe, but I can't justify it when I can build another AR for that kind of dough. And from a practical standpoint, it just is not as good of a gun (detachable mags primarily) |

I don't want it to be a SKS price fuck fest. This one seems really nice and I have no idea if it's close to the going rate or if it can go up to $700. Gotta be better then the piece of shit Egypt AK I got and don't ask what I gave for it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pretty much what they go for. I really like the SKS rifles, I own several including one very similar to that one, but I bought mine many many years ago and wouldn't pay that much for one now, which means I wouldn't have any, because that is in fact what they sell for. |

28 bids with four days to go.
At $500 it is a good deal, but it will probably go higher. Who knows with the retardation on Gunbroker. |

Good looking SKS.
This is not the 90s "I got my SKS for $100", those days are gone. I doubt they will ever come back for being "cheap" weapons. If you like it buy it and have no regrets. Because if you don't bid on it I might.

I think I paid around $89 for mine. It's Russian made in Tula Arsenal too. It was new, completely covered in cosmoline. The seller also threw in some boxes of Chinese 7.62x39 steel core bullets too. This was back in the early 90's IF that is indeed the going market rate for a Russian SKS then I made a good investment that dramatically out paced inflation. More Gun and Import Bans = Higher prices due to scarcity |

More Gun and Import Bans = Higher prices due to scarcity I should have kept all of the ones I bought in the early 90's. I bought 3 Russian ones (1951, 1952 and 1951 as I recall). With shipping and the hand select fee, they were just under $100 each. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think they would sell for $600. In fact, I thought I overpaid at $100. 20+ years later I still have the nicest of the three (sold 2 in the late 90's). In all of those years, I never got around to shooting one of the SKS rifles.

As others have said, thats about right moneywise. If I had the money I'd think about it. Worst case you could resell it and get back what you lost, the Russian SKS seem to be holding their value well.

You should read up on Russian SKS's, it could save you some embarrassment. On edit- You are correct, it's the square with the line thru it or the kite looking symbol that are the re- arsenal marks. It's never an embarrassment to be wrong, if you'll admit when you are. Then again, you could of posted the correct markings to help identify instead of just pointing out the mistake.
