What's the going price on SKSs in your area?

[zahc]

In very good to unissued condition?

Chinese-?
Russion-?
Yugo-?

Just wondering. They seem to be going through the roof around here. Local shop wants to get 200 for chinese ones.

 

[Moonclip]

Chinese, $150-225 been looking for a paratroop again.

Russian $300-to over 400

Yugo, 59's for about $180, 59/66's arond the same but I saw a couple from $150-175.

Romanians have disappeared, usually around $200 or so.

Albanians high priced and never seen.

 

[Cpl Punishment]

Yugos - $185.

I doubt you'll find an unissued Chinese or Russian, since they can't be imported.

Good condition Russian - $325.
Haven't seen a Chinese in God knows how long.

 

[Third_Rail]

Chinese are $135-155.

Yugos are about $170.

Russian are $210-250.

 

[Quentin]

Yugo 59/66s for $160 at Big 5 and other places. Just bought one.

 

[blackhawk2000]

I can get Yugo's from $100-$130. Dunhams runs them on sale almost every week. I've gotten 3 real real nice ones from them so far. I've seen them in other gun shops around $250 and up, in some pretty beat up condition. Not sure of the country.

Prices are high around here. That's why I got a C&R licence

Chinese (standard 20") - $200-$250

Russian - $300-$350

Yugo M59/66 - $150ish (Excellent/Unissued condition)

Yugo M59 - $200 - $225

 

[Moonclip]

Whoever is seeing Russians at $210 or so is doing very well. If I didn't already have three I'd pick one up for that price no problem. I may sell one of them if I was offered enough though. I put one on consignment for $425 at a store that seems to get high prices but it didn't sell but my Century Arms M1 Garand at $500 went fairly quickly, go figure! Milsurp teds to sit there too. I bought a Chinese T53 for $100 that had been sitting for 2-3 years.

SKS prices

At the last gun show (and I forget the promoter - as well as the vendor actually selling 'em), Yugos were selling for $95 to $195, with about four or five 'price points' in between. True, the cheapest looked it: ridden hard and put away wet - after being dipped in Cosmoline or whatever passes for it in ex-CommBloc countries. The $195 ones were touted as being unfired. This one vendor had several dozen crates....

 

[GunGoBoom]

Do you mean, at gun shows? Because they're not in stores around here. At gun shows, like all guns, they're priced to skim the top for suckers, so they're ALL marked about $325 or more, unless they look like crap, in which case they're marked $275 or so, regardless of make.

 

[Kalashnikov]

Around here the yugo's frequently go for $100. The chinese are around $200-250. Russian are hard to find but the ones you do see are great condition and around $400-500. I got mine at a steal though, only $250 for a near mint Russian.

Not too many in gun shops here(Scranton). Only one I've seen here now is an old Romy for $150. Picked up it's better looking sister a couple mo's ago, This one still here. I may have to get it anyway! Picked up an unissed Norinco a few mo's ago also, at a different place. Paid $250. Unissueds(Yugo's) are about $200 when available. More selection online. Prices even themselves out,kinda, when shipping and ffl fee's are included. Last gun show I went to show in Harrisburg had shooters for $95. Got to wait till Dec for next one. Trying to save up(yeah right!) for an Albanian. Also looking for Korean(north vietmanese),dealer mite have a line on one. Not holding my breath on that one. These sks's are going up in price, down in availablity, at least to me. Been toyng with the idea of a c&r. Don't know if my family budget can handle that! My plan is to keep getting what I can for what I can afford.

[pauli]

you know, it's kinda interesting reading about localized prices from people with no displayed location.

 

[Commissar Gribb]

too much

I think I saw a chinese one for $400 at a gun show once.

I hate this town.

 

[Alex45ACP]

Yugo: 300 in stores

At gun shows: $120-180

 

[Third_Rail]

pauli - if you're referring to me, I saw those prices in Maine.

 

[ChromDome]

In NW Arkansas they are selling for $114 i know because I bought one today. The gun store had several different makes with prices ranging from $114 up to $180 Not in excellent shape, but not terrible either. I'm still looking to aquire one of the new one's i've heard are floating around out there.

 

[Spot77]

Hmmm..even in Maryland I picked up a Yugo sks in unissued condition for $100 at a show.


It was my second one, and it's still all nice and cosmo'd up in the box
