Immed. after the Newtown tragedy, I tracked SKS prices every week on GB.

Other than the more popular Russians and even rarer Romanians or Albanians,, basic SKS rifles Without tactical add-ons seems to be pretty stable in price.

Typical unmodified Yugos or Chinese seemed to never exceed $350-400, on average.
And there were normally six to seven pages of them listed, including all varieties of the rifle.

chupps: do you ever read SKSboards?

Chinese SKS's are normally all scratched up and bad looking but the yugos are all really nice condition looks brand new. But they are more expensive

Here is a pic of a shorty (some call it the Paratrooper). Unmodified, with the bayo, is one of the coolest looking battle rifles of all time, methinks

Oh, and fun to shoot? Yes - my Son, friends, and self, the SKS is always a big hit

Last shot bolt stays open - I like that about it!!
