I was at a gun shop at lunch today, and they had a Norinco SKS with a cheap 4x30 scope mounted and a cheap nylon sling attached. It had a 30 round detachable magazine, and appeared to be in pretty good shape, but I didn't look down the bore. They were asking $170. That seemed like a good price, but is it worth trading other guns for.
Let me explain...with a baby on the way, I promised my wife that the Ruger 22/45 would be the last new(or used) gun until at least next year some time. However, I don't have anything in 7.62x39 and really like SKS's. (I actually don't have any intermediate rifles, I go from .22LR to 7.62x54R and 30-06) So I think I could justify a trade, but the only things I would part with are a Remington 552, pre-serial number, that's in fairly rough shape and a Mosin Nagent 91/30 with about 220 rounds of ammo left. I don't want to part with either one, but neither one is a sharp shooter and still have a full powered battle rifle in my Garand.
I don't know what they would offer for those two guns, but I think it would be close. If anyone has info one what I might get offered for trade, please let me know that too.
In short (too late), would it be worth it?
All opinions appreciated.
