Would you trade a Norinco SKS for a RAR in 7.62x39?

Components are easy. My used brass is slung into the next country. Unlike the neat piles my AR makes.

You definitely have a point there; I forgot how far they sling the brass.

I took the SKS out and shot it. I decided to order this stock for it.

Do the trade. If you are ever in the market for a nice norinco sks I'll sell you one. With bayonet.

I can get the original stock for this one. I drug it out and shot it. I was reminded why I never sold it. It's just fun.

It's reliable and can hit clays at 100 yards with the crude sights.

A decent SKS can embarrass a lot of more expensive firearms and easily. I've seen it too often to deny it.

I don't need the cash. It's more about freeing up space. My gun locker is over full. I can buy an unmolested Norinco for less than he offered me for this modified one.

As you can buy an unmolested ChiCom Norinco for less; the equation changed. If it was an unmolested Chicom or Russian; it would be different.

ChiCom firearms or ammo won't be imported anymore. The American market is an odd place because after you can't buy one; prices increase. To see what I'm saying check today's prices of MAK, Norinco, Poly Tech, Molot, or Maadi.

I'm another one who doesn't sell firearms.

I do have the original parts 1200 miles away.

I’m going to be in the market for a SKS at the gun show next month. Classic Firearms normally has a table or five, and they’re advertising Norinco SKS’s in good condition for $300.

They are fun to shoot.

You're making the decision a lot harder..

The original parts increase it's value.

I have a type 56. Literally and with practice, it is faster to recharge it than swap mags than an AK. Crude sights, but a longer sight radius. It is a fun rifle.

I decided not to sell. I don't like selling things anyway.

Just buy the ruger, they don't take up much space...

Leaving it as is or converting it back to original? I'd take it back to original or at least buy the parts to do so.

I don't sell firearms myself so I get what you're saying and agree with it. However, as I've been blessed with being employed until I retired, I never needed to sell one.
I did establish a rule "no new calibers" and my wife laughed at me when I told her.
Ouch..

I have the original mag and receiver cover in my gun room. The original stock and gas tube are at my Dad's house 5 states away. I ordered a monte Carlo stock to try on it.
I will be back in Michigan memorial day week and will probably get the original then.

That is a "free" back to original!! Not many can say the same...
