That's just the opposite of what many gun buyers want.

Century brought in a batch of Chinese SKS via Albania the end of last year, sold them as C&R. A bunch of wholesalers had them for under $200. They went pretty quick.

Atlantic Firearms still has some, but they doubled the price.

Arms list today has them listed $400-1000. That is just plain bonkers.

This is an old thread, but if the OP is still on the market for a Chinese SKS, I would suggest an older type 56 model. The Chinese built them using Russian tooling equipment, specs and parts. Their quality is comparable to the Russian SKS original rifles for a fraction of the price.
