With that price for a common Norinco (like mine), what do people there pay for an original Russian SKS, or used, typical "AK clone" with a cheap 30-rd. magazine? They must expect them to pop up in gun stores. We seldom see any in two of the main Memphis/Cordova stores. "Guns and Ammo" seems to never have an SKS.

At this moment on auction site "GB", there are over five pages of SKS rifles.
With most priced too high for the market, only a fraction have bids, and about half or more appear to be Norincos. Even months after the presidential election, they were still avail. here at every area gun show (during the seller-induced ammo panic), as with the "AK clones" and ARs etc.

Guys in your area must not like prices plus shipping & FFL fees, and many GB sellers must be unaware of the added fees.
That's exactly why I stopped making anything except FTF (in person) deals. See you folks later...the gas tube needs cleaning.
