Hard to say. Probably around $450? I just Googled 'Norinco SKS' and there appear to be quite a few forum threads on the value of this gun. You might want to look through those threads.

Hey I just had an idea. You could take it to Antiques Roadshow. That'd be hilarious, you walking in with an SKS slung around your shoulder wanting an appraisal. I'd pay money to watch that.

LOL! I would do it!

Actually not to be "one of those guys" but it's not a clip, a clip is what is used to load the magazine. Just a lil bit of info for fun

Correct. Like an M1 Garand (the clip gets ejected once the mag is empty).

Damn I was offered $800 a while back. Maybe I should have taken it.

Nice I found one on gunbroker. Weird I could never find one like mine in the past on there and I just googled it, and Bam!

Hmm...bidding starts at $550. I'm thinking my estimate of $450 was on the low side!

Check this out. The FN SCAR is now available with two civilian models. I think I'm going to get the 17S in .308, as I already have a .223 AR.

Link: SCAR™ Semi-auto

16S in 5.56 NATO (.223):

17S in 7.62 NATO (.308):

I'm like . . . drooling.

I found a mug for you, Semtax.

Battle Mug - Hero-Gear LLC / Hero Guns

semtex · 08-28-2009, 11:18 AM

That is an AWESOME mug! But at $279 *cough**cough* I think I'll have to pass. Cool site though. Gonna look around.

Currently in combat use over in Iraq/Afghanistan. Pretty awesome

Funking looking sks. I would hold on to it. I've got one but it's just a regular russian sks 1954. It's original at least. You should go the sks forum:
SKS forum
