I bought one for $225 at the beginning of 2007. Someone had taken a chisel to the magwell, in a "el cheapo" attempt to make it accept an AK drum. Otherwise the rfile was as new, although the barrel had been left dirty and the main piston was carboned up stationary. I already had such an SKS since 1994 that I got for $200. I modified the magwell to take Ak drums, but did so in an aesthetic manner, and redid the stock, They are great guns, but the barrel is a bit shorter than most Ak's, and there is no BHO device. Don't have a picture of the "newer" one.
