    Is $150 a fair price for SKS(china)? It's in good/very good condition and comes with an after market folding stock, a bi-pod and a 30 rd. mag (plastic) It also includes the original clip, 10 stripper clips and wood stock. I've seen over 1,000 rounds fired through it and it seem reliable. Should I pick it up?

    PS - and no I'm not in California.

    I notice that a few Russian SKS rifles have different magazines on them.
    Did they came with them or were they modified to accept a detachable magazine?

    I have been looking at some SKS's for a while now and I am thinking of getting on to add too the collection. But it seems the SKS is alot like the AK type rifles. Some people look at where it was made. I am looking for a all around good shooter so what would you all think one of the better makers are?

    I'm looking for advise on Buyer Beware when shopping for an SKS. Are they all used military weapons 40+ years old or are there new SKS's?

    How is the SKS Sporter different than a reguler SKS? Will it accept AK mags?

    As far as accuracy goes, what can i expect from an sks at 200 yds.
    Would say a Saiga in .223 be a more accurate rifle.

    hard to say, the market goes up and down on these. i belive the russians are the best so i would say anywhere from $250 to $350, however there are some overzealous folks who will gladly pay more.

    The Russian models are more desirable to most. They are fewer around, the Chinese Rifles are more abundant. Keep your eye on Gun Broker they usually have a variety of these on hand. Hope this helps.


    Good Luck.

    Ammo is very cheap right now , about $80.00 for a 1000 rounds.
    For centerfire short range varmint or even deer -100 yards or less it is a nice gun for home protection, and the Russian models hold their value better.
