Help on 1950 Russiain SKS

Not a bad deal, not great . . .

For our local area (north Florida) this is an okay price for an unissued Russian. Skanky ones go for as low as $100, used for $250. I'd still try to talk him down a bit lower. Really nice Russians are hard to find, as collectors have pretty much gotten them all.

400 is a might bit steep. I payed 150 for my Tula 1954 unissued all matching numbers. That was 10 years ago they are going for about 250-300 right now.

$289.00 here.

PRICE

IF PRICE IS ALWAYS YOUR DRIVING FACTOR IN BUYING FIREARMS YOU WILL ALMOST ALWAYS END UP WITH SOMETHING YOU NEVER REALY WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naw it's not to big a factor, I just don't want to get hosed. I would buy it to collect it, not shoot it. Ok I would probably shoot it!

Alot of gun investments now a days are better, and a whole lot more fun than the stock market. ALthough I lose in both, I want to limit my losses! Since I don't know, I thought I would ask.

Buy it, you'll regret it later. I got a 53 Tula refurb for $400 and it's worth every **** penny. I have never seen another one as pretty as mine.
