IMHO, sales tax and shipping kills this otherwise good deal. Better off to pay more at a shop and see what you’re getting.
Sorry, guys. I saw the folding bayonets and heard about these being in pretty good condition regardless of "hand select" or not. I guess I'm just jaded by the folks asking $450 to $500 for their norincos and polytechs on armslist and at the local shows.
The initial batch was okay. The recent batch is ugly.
Left: Initial batch SKS, almost no bluing however everything has a good fit, all matching (replacement stock), pristine bore. Foxtrot Lima Enterprises was the importer.
Right: Later batch SKS, bluing present, sloppy fit, all matching, prisitine bore, rust and pitting throughout. PW Arms was the importer.
That initial batch SKS looks pretty damn good! Much better than I would expect. Just out of curiosity, did you pay the extra money for a hand selected or “best out of whatever”?
Is that a albanian replacement stock on the left? Looks like its not correctly cut for the bayonet.
