Picked up the ChiCom SKS recently to go with my Soviet. I had a ChiCom a while back and sold it. But I've wanted another one but didn't want to pay today's higher prices for one. LGS had it as a consignment sale marked at $450. Talked 'em down to $400 for it.
I've checked GunBroker's completed sales and they're averaging $600-$700. Now, mint in the box Navy Arms Cowboy Companions with the matching optics of course go for more as an example. But a run if the mill ChiCom is averaging between $600-$700. So, $400 is a good price.
It is an 9186 Arsenal made rifle, possibly made in 1980. Short collar barrel lug, cast rear sight block, post 1968 production pattern bolt (no lightening cut), stamped trigger guard, all matching numbers with Type 56 marking.The bore is chrome lined and mint. Even has the original sling and cleaning kit in the buttstock. Basically, this is later production military contract Type 56 that was later sold to a US importer for the US commercial market.
I'd like to find a 16" "paratrooper" for cheap. Yeah, they were never military pattern. But a 16" SKS with bayonet just seems like a fun little handy rifle.
