a coulpe weeks ago my dad needed to borrow some money so i gave him $100 bucks. last week dad goes "liz, i can pay you back this week, but i want to ask you something..."
this guy he goes to church with needed some cash and was selling a norinco SKS with over 500 rds of ammo for $75 bucks. i, being the dutiful daughter, told him to get the SKS. :D of course i get some of the ammo.
so today i get home from work and go take a nap. when i wake up its dark and dads not home. i wander in a sleepy daze throught the house and i see the bushmaster case laying on the back of the sofa. i wondered about it, but, still sleepy, didn't really care too much. dad came home 20 minutes ago and i ask him, whys the case out? and he tells me its what i brought the sks home in. then he points to the bookshelf and in front, propt up on a coulpe boxs is the sks.
he left it out for me to see and, me the dope, didn't see the thing even though i walked right by it!
dad gave the guy $90 dollers for it and 799 rounds!!!!! dad did tell him he could get more and such, but the dude just wanted to sell it. it also came with a 30 rd detachable mag. the bolt had a bit of rust that came off easily and the bore is in wonderful shape. dad had to clean it pretty good. he thinks the guy never got all the cosmoline off it when he bought it. it has a few dings in the stock and is a little skratched, but we really don't care about that. all in all a pretty good deal. :) oh yeah, its also got a bayonet. as dad says "finally, i can do a drive by bayoneting!" *chuckle* :D

so i do have a couple question.....
first and formost where can i get magizines (the curved mags with the spacer attached) for it at a good price? and does anyone know where i can download a manual? we like to have one for every gun.
 
thats a sick deal. 90$ is the going rate for 500 rounds of ammo.

the rifle and extra 300 rounds were free
 
these things run our way occasionally. dad got me a S&W .357 revolver (m-19) for $90 once too.
benifits of living with my dad. everyone he knows, knows he likes guns and so anytime someones selling they seem to call him. *grin* so now we will have two russian rifles ( my AK is on layaway) chambered for the same thing and lots of ammo.
all we need is a mosin-nagant and will have all of mother russia that we need. although dad thinks i should get a markorov too, just for kicks.
 
I agree with every one else, IT'S A SUPER DEAL!!

Me I would stick with the fixed 10 round magazine, and buy stripper clips. I haven't had that much luck with the 30 rounds mags.
 
Well, since you can't touch 500 rounds of 7.62x39 for less than about $110 now, it looks like he bought 500 rds and then someone paid him $20 to take an SKS and another 299 rounds off their hands! Raging deal.
 
Pwaahaahaaaahahaa!

"The bayonet is for deer hunting. You stick an apple on the end, and wait very quietly."

Threeband, that may just be the funniest thing I've ever read! :D Can I borrow that?
