Hello Everyone :)    I have a quick question. I might be selling an SKS I have. I am curious what the going rate is for a collectible SKS. It is Russian 1953 Tula. I am told it was never fired (I don't know how to check this) However the source for the SKS is A Very Much Trusted Source. Does not have the Refurbished mark. The only thing wrong here is the serial number on the magazine does not match. So if I decide to sell it what can I get??
Thanks Thomas

you might check over at sksboards.com. I'm a memeber there and they can probably tell you exactly what you'll get. May even find a buyer there as well. IMO, you should just hang onto it.

$200-250

Mismatched mag hurts collector value.

Russian refurbs are $250+ if in decent condition.  Non-refurbs were worth around $400 if in very good original condition.  I hope they continue to go up, because I have one that I want to sell.

The Russain SKS remains the ceremonial firearm for the Russian military.  Pictures indicate the multi toned red laminate stocks with the polished bolts are very prevelant.  I've watched the prices for many years and they seem to remain centered around $300 with + and - value based on condition, matching status, etc.  I agree a mismatched magazine reduces value and collectibilty.  So for $250 you get a nice shooter, way better than a Yugo and you don't have to worry about putting a scratch in the top cover.

They go between 300-400.  I've seen them over 400 at gunshows
