Nice score. I'm not even going to ask what it set you back since you're in Canada. I have one in similar condition I recently acquired.

My first firearm, $89 at a gunshow in the 80's.  Paid extra for the non cosmoline version, sold it a couple years ago.

 It cost more than normal because it's an M21, $600 CAN. M21 SKS rifles are the best quality Chinese SKS rifles ever made, they were apparently made for export to friendly governments.

1985 $89 is the equivalent of $260 today.

Report to the RCMP that there was a break in and it was stolen. Then meet me at the Border and I’ll hand you 10 browns for it😉

I know it is an older post but I was shocked when I saw your photos. Very cool to see.

I have a near identical M21 I purchased in 1994. I pulled it from the dealer's crate. I've kept it new and unfired all this time.

Mine is the same factory and serial prefix - made about 1300 rifles after yours.

Does your bayonet screw have 3 stake marks? That's a trait I've only noticed on late production M21 SKS rifles.

Mine had the bayonet removed for ridiculous import reasons, but evidence of the 3 stake marks on the left side of the bayonet pivot remain.
