Years ago (2010ish) I got a smokin' deal on craigslist on a Yugo SKS. I picked it up from the guy for $75. I was young and dumb and had just started my firearms collection. I really didn't know how good of a deal I got. I ended up selling it a few weeks later for $175 and thought I had just made the deal of a lifetime. Now, you can hardly even look at one for under $500 at a show. Classic firearms had a sale on their remaining stock of Norinco SKS rifles, and they lowered the price to below $400! I jumped on it, even though they warned on their website that these were what was left over. All of the hand picks and higher grade rifles were gone, so I expected some imperfections. Well, she may not be the prettiest one out there, but I think it has character. It shoots great, and I couldn't be happier with it. All numbers matching except for the stock. It came packed in about 200 pounds of cosmoline, but once I got it cleaned up I didn't think it was too bad at all.
