Should i sell my sks

Plus, the possibility of slam fire concerns me greatly. It is a Norinco, bought pre-ban in , so it should be worth considerably more than I paid for it. There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture. Post by Weetabix » Thu Jan 10, pm Sell it to me for cheap! If you don't shoot it, and there's something that would fit your needs better, sell it. It's not your kid or your kidney. Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing.

The AK is a better choice because increasingly there are more, and higher quality accessories for it, plus the capacity thing. Cognosce teipsum et disce pati "People come and go in our lives, especially the online ones. Many SKS rifles have made their way to the states as sporter rifles in the hands of civilians.

Values generally depend on which nation produced them. From the lower end Norinco Type 56 to the incredibly rare North Korean production models, the value of the SKS rifles can differ greatly.

Rare variants such as the Norinco Type 63, able to accept AK style magazines, also command a greater value. Russian variants were manufactured at both the Tula and Izhevsk arsenals.

Those manufactured at Izhevsk are more rare and do better on the used market. A major factor in determining value for any firearm comes from the condition of the gun. If it is in mint condition with little finish wear from handling, the gun can retain a good portion of its retail value. If more usage is apparent and the gun has scuffs, dents or scratches on the slide or polymer lower, the value will lower with each imperfection.

Same goes with the metal parts, the more scratches and faded bluing finish that becomes present on the gun from handling and usage can greatly diminish its value. The takeaway is that as the condition of the firearm worsens, the less it will be worth when re-sold.
