I just got an SKS (to sell from an estate) and don't know much about
them.
It is totally all matching numbers 7807, side reciever marks CCCP 05768, immaculate condition. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
thx

    I recently picked up a Russian SKS from the 50's. Looks unfired and I was thinking of keeping it this way but saw a reply on the topic of a Yugo SKS

    Should I keep this like new or shoot it? I have a Norinco preban that I do shoot. The Russian is preban as well.

    Could someone tell me the difference between a black bolt and a shiny bolt? Does a black bolt make the rifle more collectible or does it have no significance? Thank You

    Just put a Russian SKS on layaway at a Chinese price.Looks unfired and of great quality.It does not appear to have the Norinco chromelined bore,and it looks a little dark but may clean up nice.Throat looks good.Were`nt these guns made in the 50`s?.Also mine has a gap between the stock and the metal barrel clamp on the bottem end,is this normal.Also my bolt cover is a black chrome like rest of metal furniture,I thought they were normally silver?Thanks,DD

    I have a 1953 tula marked sks that is in excellent shape. It would be all matching except the original stock and 10 round magazine are long gone. Would the value of the rifle increase if I replaced the aftermarket parts with original russian?

    They came various ways. It sounds like you have one of the Black bolt arsenal refurbished guns. The stock is quite probably a replacement (during the refurbishing)and that is why there may not be a perfect fit.
