F/S Chinese SKS

[Packman297]

Chinese SKS with attached blade bayonet. I purchased this a few years back, cleaned off the cosmoline, and put it in my safe.

Classic Firearms currently has these with a spike bayonet for $399 plus tax, shipping, and transfer. Save on shipping and tax and buy mine for $400 cash.

Meet me at an FFL in or near Putnam County. All NYS laws apply.

Numbers match? Know what plant?

 

[Packman297]

I believe that the numbers do match, but will confirm. If you can tell me how to tell what plant it’s from, I’ll try and figure it out.

Guys, do not be stupid and low ball the guy. These are going up in value. Pay the man the $400 bucks for a fair price. I honestly would buy it from him but I already have two Sino-Soviet Chinese, Yugo and two Russian SKS's.

I have several chicoms, 2 yugos, a Russian (all matching) and a non matched mutt. They would all be sold for different prices. I think providing the basic details that helps determine the value of an SKS only helps facilitate the sale.

I believe there are 5 serial numbers on the gun. Receiver, bolt, trigger guard, magazine and butt-plate (maybe).

Is the top of the receiver marked?

To bad your not closer to Monroe Co.

I pulled it out the safe again this evening to take a look. It’s a cool little carbine - I’ll be sad to see it go, but have other projects to fund.

The numbers on the bolt, receiver, and magazine all match and start with “PH”. I have no idea if they are original serial numbers or import marks. There are a wide variety of numbers and symbols etched / stamped onto other metal parts.

I also have an ammo can full of ammo for it, if you want to make an offer on that as well.

 

[Packman297]

Would consider a trade involving a 10MM pistol or a Trijicon RMR, if anyone feels like dealing.

 

[Packman297]

No interest?

 

[Packman297]

Time for a bump on this. Anyone want to make me an offer? Otherwise it’s going back into the back of the safe... or maybe turned into a bubba deer rifle with a montecarlo stock...

Is there a star and date
on top of the reciever ?

Just saw two Russian sks' rifles at a gunshop in the North country.. normally I'd want to take a closer look , but the price tag of $1000. each lost my curiosity in a hurry..

I don’t believe so, unless I’m looking in the wrong place.

Just sold one for $550.00 on consignment. Had a fiberglass stock. Nice gun. I do not know now if all the part numbers matched. My understanding is that does not always lower value on an SKS.

If you search around you will find a list of markings showing, sometimes, where an SKS was made. Quite often the importer makes marks and stamps on the gun. I found the triangle with whatever it was inside (eyes not that good) on the side of the receiver.
