I've never been interested in having an SKS but I was at a pawn shop 2 weeks ago, & found one that was parkerized black, with a green fiber type stock. It doesn't have the papers with it, but it does have a scope. No bayonet, but it does have a cleaning rod. I talked them down to $200 + taxes otd, but still don't really know if it is a rip or not. I would give it a 97 to 98 % overall. It looks brand new, & I went back today to see if it is still there, & it is. I don't want to miss a bargain if it is. Someone on the general board said it might be a rarer stock that is valued by collector who would pay much more for it if advertised. Pleas let me know what it is asap, as I don't want to miss out on a good deal. Thanks for any help in this matter, Searcher out.
