Where to buy Chinese SKS - best price?

[Tim Currie]

Ok, so I'm just looking for a good place to pick up the Chinese para trooper model SKS for a good price. Also, would love to know if there is anything to look out for with the Chinese para troopers?

I've got a yugo that I bought a couple years back and didnt do my research really, and now I discover that there is a 16" barrell version out there! My current yugo is long and heavy....would love a shorter lighter gun.

Thanks,

Tim

I would be curious about other SKS's as well. Most of what I see retail is the Yugo's. I don't see too many of the others. Most are used at gun shows. I am still not knowledgeable enough to figure out what the pay for them. Can't really say I am in the market for another SKS right now, but if one can be had cheap, I might become interested.

No only is there the 16" barrel version, but my brother has a 16" Norinco that takes AK magazines. I use to owne it and installed a Advanced Technologies black plastic stock and a muzzle break. Looks great, but heavy!

Cool. Anyone know of a place online to get them? That's how I got the yugo in the first place...

Thanks.

The Chinese SKSs are no longer being imported, so you will need to check the used rack of your favorite local store (which is where I found mine), or cruise the usual online auction sites.

Also, SKS variants modified to take AK mags are still considered "assault weapons" in California and cannot be transferred.

Yeah... From me 200 bucks shipped for my like new Chink SKS, if you want it. Cleaning kit, sling, and bayonet included. Hope I dont get kicked for having this outside the for sale forum, but it does seem on topic

Sounds pretty good to me. I'm watching one on gunbroker right now that is at $155, it'll be done tomorrow.

But I think you just might have a deal, will you hold on to that for me until tomorrow night at $200?

Thanks!

Oh btw, yours IS the shorter barrelled paratrooper model right? Just wanna make sure...
