WTF? That's pretty weird. The SKS that I usually see are around $250 for a Yugo, and that's expensive already. For russian (refinished) are about 350-400. Does that $500 SKS has some special marking/features? If you are just looking for a shooter, find something else.

I routinely see the SKS for sale at Turners for $179. I picked one up about 6 months ago and will probably get another.

$179 is the normal sales price at Turners. I remember paying $89 and $99 for them years ago straight out of the crates covered in a gallon of grease.

unless it is a N.korean or E.german or a vet bring back with papers there is no sks worth $500. go back to the shop in 10 years that sks will still be there.

There's always some shop doing that.
A BIL purchased a Russian SKS for a whopping $300, back when they sold for over $100. |

Just get a 03 C&R FFL and get the Cali legal Yugos shipped to your door step for less than the Turners deal. http://www.sksboards.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif
Otherwise you can usually find good deals for standard SKS's online. You just have to find a tranfer dealer to do the paperwork. |

IIRC Yugo SKS are not C&R eligible. Can anyone confirm?

If they're made in 1955 or earlier, they're eligible (IIRC) |

Yes the Yugos are a C&R. The M59/66 Yugo with CA-modified grenade laucher is the only one you can get with the licence though, and I'm not sure why that is.
If you go to aimsurplus.com or SOG they usually have them. I believe the barrled recievers are C&R too and only cost about $50. And they can be used to simply build your own "shooter" for most likely no more than 100 bucks. Not sure if they are CA legal though... |

They just have to be older than 50 years and can't be banned by feature (like the grenade launcher on the 59/66.
I am pretty sure a lot of them are C&R legal, you just will end up spending twice as much for the nicer Russian ones than you will for the Yugos at Turners. |

I remember at one of the last "Pomona" shows Turner's had two booths and had sales for the Russian SKS-45, cash & carry C&R status. It seemed like every damn third person I saw was walking around the show carrying their KBI/Kimber SKS box on their shoulder. I miss the good ole' days...
