Calling Norinco SKS 7.62 X 39 CHINA Experts!!!

[CountGlockula]

How much is this worth? Reason why is that I want to buy it and need an asking price. I appreiciate your honesty! Thanks again!









It's from K-Sports. Chinese Manu code is a triangle with a 26 inside. Serial # is 12198xxx

20" barrel. In excellent condition. Never fired it. Finish in great shape except for bottom of trigger guard.

Comes with original K-Sports box and packaging. Oil bottle, sling, cleaning kit in buttstock. No bayonet.

I gather that it was built around 1968. Looks nice, but did someone remove the bayonet? I would say $250-low 300s, although the local market (i.e. local "knowledgeable gun shop") doesn't reflect that.

 

[esmith]

If that were priced at 200, it would sell relatively quick. If you were to sit on it at 250 it would probably sell too. If it meant a lot to someone you may be able to get away with 300 depending on where you live. I got mine for 150 in relatively good shape a few months ago.

 

[briansmithwins]

$200 to $300 depending on how badly the buyer wants one.

[CountGlockula]

Thanks guys. Yeah there is no bayonet...and the guy just gave me a price of $375. I guess I'll pass since its above 300.

Thanks again!

I would offer $200 for it. Although $150-250 is normal for an SKS in that shape. Anything over $250 is probably asking too much, even with the box and accescories.

If you do buy it don't worry about the bayonet. If you want one I belive Cheaper than Dirt or Sportsmans Guide sells them along with the mounting screw.

 

[jordan1948]

Well you don't have to pass, it's well worth at least 300 you could offer hime that, I mean what's the worst that could happen ya know? it's worth a shot

 

[Rubber_Duck]

I bought one in very nice condition FTF at a gun show here for $325. It was very well taken care of. It may sound expensive, but we've had Yugos SKSs selling for $490 locally. Highest one I saw was $576 for a Russian. So at just over three hundred ducks, it's still a good deal. I haven't seen those $189 SKS around here lately.

I would pay $250 to $325 for the one in the pic. $375 is too much. Its too bad it doesn't have the spike bayonet.

 

[wideym]

I see alot of SKSs for sale at the local gunstores, but most have been bubba'ed. I did pick up an unfired, no handling marks Norico at a pawnshop for $150 a few months ago. All orignal with matching serial numbers while folding stock, scoped, and 30 round detachable mag versions were going for $250-300.

OK. I'll ask for it him to lower it to $300. Stay tuned.

[pinstripe]

I have one that is cleaner than that one (not knocking your rifle) and I gave $150+tax for it. Just goes to show the range in pricing. I would start at $200 or so.
Good luck

[Janos Dracwlya]

I picked up a new Chinese commercial SKS at a show about a year and a half ago. I gave $250 for it and its been a very good gun so far.

 

[Shade00]

Honestly, I don't think the general market is $150 for a Norinco in great shape. I paid $150 for mine a few months ago, and while not in horrible shape, the stock was terrible and the bayonet lug had been removed. Throw in some surface rust and the gun is not even close to what the OP showed us. So do I think you can find SKSes in great shape for that price? Maybe - but not frequently. Realistically the price range for a Norinco Type 56 in that condition should be $250-low $300s - and while some may get great deals, those are the exception rather than the rule.

 

[greyling22]

260 out the door.

 

[Bartkowski]

If you are going to buy it, make an offer of $200. If they want more than $250, then it depends on how much you really want it. I know they are selling for more than that some places, but I don't think they are worth much more than $250.

 

[RangerHAAF]

If you pay more than $200 dollars for it, you've paid too much. I love Norincos in all forms.

 

[Kymasabe]

I bought mine...just like yours, in the box. never fired, "26" gun, and I paid $275 for it last year. Got in a money crunch, sold it for what I paid for it. Sorry I ever sold it, was one of the best SKS's I've ever owned.

 

[Lamb of Gun]

I bought mine for 175$ last year. At that time, you could get one like the one you're looking at now for about 225-250. Mine is sort of beat up.

Now, I'd have to agree with everyone and say right around 300$. Just don't start there.

By King Ghidora
"I just passed up a D model Norinco (the model that accepts AK-47 mags as well as SKS mags). The guy asked me $165 for it and it was in excellent condition although part of the stock has been removed and replaced with a piece that was a different color. It was the piece that goes on top of the barrel. I'm sure a person could find a matching piece around here. SKS's are plentiful and fairly cheap here. Gun shops generally ask about $225 - $250 here for a Model 56 (which is probably what the one you're looking at is). I saw the D model at a flea market where you could outfit a small army if you wanted to. The gun culture is strong around here. I don't know where you live but I do know that your location has a lot to do with the going rate for an SKS."

KG tell your Friend to contact me, I'll give him his $165.00 asking price for a D model.

I'll go with most everybody else. $225 to $300 would be OK. I'm afraid that the days of the $75.00 SKS's are long gone.

the traingle 26 is known for its quality as they were dozens of sks factoires in china..Despite what people say the sks is a well built arm and the chinese do a good job making them..
Chrome lined barrel,milled reciever,semi automatic, you know how much that would cost if built in the US? Closet i can figure is the mini14/30 at around $600..My SKS will shoot as accurate as my buddies mini 14, and more accurate than any ak I shot..Depsite the ten round capactiy they load fast with stripper clips and really thats enough for me...I have 4 of them and they are handout rifle to family and freinds who want to go shooting or if the big **** hits the fan..

I would say anything under $350 is a fair price..After that you are still getting a good gun, just paying more than needed.

Really any gun that has DETAHCABLE MAG wil cost 2-3 times as much..Depends on you and how good of a rifleman you are..I would not pick one to be my first choice for battle, but it would not be a bad choice, just not my first.

 

[DnPRK]

In Los Angeles, $375 would be a fair price for an unfired triangle 26

 

[Crazy Fingers]

It depends on your area of the country. The days of cheap SKSs are gone. The nasty Yugos go for $200 - $250 around here. The Chinese are significantly better quality, in my opinion. They typically go for around $300 here.

 

[Wolfgang2000]

King Ghidora, Where are you at??

 

[Poor East Texan]

I'm another who thinks $350 is kind of "out there".

Mine came from a gun show in Dallas probably 8 years ago. I gave a dude walking around with $150 and bought a whole ****pile of stripper clips at the same show.

Figure inflation and such and $250-$275 sounds right.

Oh yeah, at Carters Country gun range maybe 6 years ago I had this Norinco, one buddy had a Ruskie and one had a Bulgarian (I think - maybe Hungarian). Anyhow no matter who shot which gun using wolf ammo in all of them the Norinco shot tighter than the other guns.
