I need to know the value on my Russian made sks plz?
Condition is good (8 out of 10 range) all numbers match, that is the numbers on the bolt, barrel and stock. Are there more numbers?

thanks in advance
Tom

    Guys,
    Anyone sell many SKS's? I have a 1954 Russian. It has a composite "sporter" stock. Also has a cheap scope and mount. I also have all the original woodwork and bayonet, and a 30 rd detachable mag.
    I see these Russian ones on GB starting for $450 and over, but it doesn't look like many sell. What is a realistic street price? A guy wants to give me $350. What do you think?

    this is debateable, but i think $250 would be fair, heres my reasoning the buyer would get an accurate, reliable, battle tested rifle with ammo being cheap, popular, readily available, effective for whitetail hunting{no more than 150yds at the most}. for under $300 any rifle with these capabilities would be a good deal in my opinion. now for the seller, many folks will tell that Norinco SKS's should be around $175 to $225 however the market {good or bad} has changed on these rifles and some are going for around $300-$400 for the Russian and Yugo models. i belive around $250 is a fair price for both seller and buyer.

    Here is Phx., this is what I've seen: Chinese packed in cosmo-grease, new, crappy paint finish on stock - $169. Romainian & the Yougo's w/ granade launchers, not new $175 - $225. Russian: $300. All this is on the average give or take a little.

    nicklasal, i belive the yugo's are higher because of thier availability and because they are unique{grenade launcher} from other sks's.

    A guy I work with was trying to sell a Chinese model for $800. "RARE" paratrooper model you know. I just hope he never found someone foolish enough to buy it.

    Did you tell him how much it was worth, and how easy it would be for you to get one off of gunbroker.com just about any day of the week...
