SKS-M What's it worth?

[El Rubio]

I have a Norinco SKS model M that is designed to accept AK mags. There's no bayonet or lug. It's in excellent condition, has no scratches or scuffs that I can see. I also have about 140 rds of ammo and a 30 rd magazine - Ammo is mostly Norinco with one box of Remington. I don't have the original box but do have the little cleaning kit and sling. I have shot 100 or so rounds through it, had it since it was new, and just don't have much use for it. I'd say it's in excellent condition. I haven't decided to sell for sure but am curious what I could get for it. Thanks in advance for your advice.

It's worth $200.

Sell it to me for that.

I'll give you $300 cash today. Send me a PM if interested.

Seriously though, check Gunbroker and/or Guns America and search for SKS-M or SKSM and look at what they're going for. They were going for 4-500 a year or so ago.

IMHO, the price of a SKS-M is bounded by the price of an AK.

I'd pay $400 cash right now for one, just because I've been wanting one for a while.

 

[Speedlace]

$400-$550, for the rifle.

Of course, if someone is willing to pay $700 for one, sell it for $700.

I'd say that at the peak, butt due to the overall price drop slightly less.

I agree.

There's no way I could convince myself to pay $500 for one of those, unless the next cheapest AK was something like a grand.

If you can find a buyer at a higher price though, by all means go for it.

I personally would have a SKS-M over a AK, due to increased accuracy potential. JMHO.
