I'm talking to someone about buying their SKS and they don't know where it was made. I thought there would be a sticky on this but I guess not.
Is there a website that lists/shows all the differences between each SKS? I want to be able to send him a website so he can find out what type of SKS it is. |

Dug my Russian SKS out of the safe and was wondering if anyone come shed some light on identifying it and any estimates on its value...might sell it. I have the original laminated stock, cleaning rod and kit(I think), sling, black bayonet. It is currently installed and what I believe is a Choate folding stock. Thanks in advance for any help... http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/gilster2006/P3300004.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/gilster2006/P3300005.jpg |

Unrefurbed as well.  I think in original configuration it could be worth around 500 bones to the right person.

The laminated stock places it as a definite refurb, and the clean stamping of arsenal and year the cover, and the newer style take down lever makes it a late '50. An early '50 would have hand stamping vs. machine die stamping, a release lever with a hole, and all '50's came in a birch stock. But this one looks like a 'medium' refurb, as it is still in the white and has no BBQ paint. With the extra stock, and considering the current market, $400 plus is not out of the question to the right buyer for a second year SKS. It looks like a nice one. |

I didn't see mine on that site... wonder why? anyway, it's a Norinco/K-Sports "triangle 26?" no bayo lug, standard box mag and side rail mount... I even have the original box etc.. I got it at a hamfest years ago for 70 bucks.
