    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?

    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.

    SKS is an acronym for Samozaryadniy Karabin sistemi Simonova , (Self-loading Carbine, Simonov's system, 1945), or SKS 45.

    The SKS was first issued in 1945, so its probably a 1948 that was mis stamped.

    just double checked,the sks was designed in 1945 by simonov,so if you have one marked 43,its either a prototype and very rare,or missmarked.

    Based on your sketchy description, it would sell in the $200-$600 range.

    If you can post photos showing the finish, type of stock & all markings (including every part with a serial number), we might be able to narrow that down a little.
