Was at a gun show last weekend and was trying to sell a few pistols I no longer have need of. Sold one and then a kid offered to trade me his sks for the other two. I balked at first but then looked on GunBroker and there are similar examples getting bids for 850 and up which is much more than the pistols would get. Apparently SKS rifles have gone from truck gun to collectible in the last several years since the Obama ban on Russian imports. Anyway I took the deal because I wasn't getting many bites on the pistols and thought the SKS would sell easier. I was right, I had several offers for 600 and 650 before I left. I said no because I wanted to shoot up some leftover ammo I have from my last SKS before I sold but now I've been doing research and I believe I may have a rare "as issued" rifle, meaning it wasn't re-arsenalled by the Russians. I have poured over every guide I can find and am as sure as I can be. I keep seeing that they're more valuable but not how much more. Does anybody here have some SKS expertise or know someone who does? Just looking for what would be a reasonable price to ask on this thing.
