Back in the early 90s I bought an original 51 Russian Tula at a gun show for $125. At the time I didn't really know what I was buying. Must be worth a few bucks now considering the prices people are paying for refurbs.
Yeah, from the "what was I thinking?" department: I distinctly recall "Jim's Pawn Shop" in Fayetteville, NC selling arsenal new for $79.95 each if you bought a case at a time and they came with squad level accessories to boot.Back in the early 90s I bought an original 51 Russian Tula at a gun show for $125.

"Actually BZO varies according the the ballistics of the rifle's ammo. 'Battlesight Zero' is the maximum range at which an effective hit can be obtained without holding over.
For full-power battle rifles, this does indeed come out to about 300 yards. For a cartridge with a higher trajectory, it will be less. For a flatter-shooting caliber, farther.
In artillery, this is the 'point-blank' range."
ALso anyone have any luck with a long Eye releif mount and scope a la Scout rifle style scoping? The gas tube mounts seem to far out their to me and I wonder if the rear sight leaf replacements place the scope to far back to allow stripper loading.
Last I checked the Chinese SKS was not C&R elgible. Has that changed?
Still cheap here. Not early 90's cheap, but Norincos still in and around 200-300.Yup not cheap here either.

It is in fact eligible.
A Russian SKS was the first "military style assault weapon"
