Does the bolt at least match the action #? Have you checked the "Romanian" forum at SKSboards?

I would be most curious about the bore's condition-mostly the rifling.
Hopefully you checked it with a bore light, or will if you go back.

It is doubtful that a gun or pawn shop would sell a good or really good 'matching Russian' for that low price. They would price it at least $425, as they all have the Internet to check list, and sale prices on GB etc.

Even a really good, common Norinco would probably be listed for at least $350-unless there is lots of corrosion.
