544097587   Chinese Norinco SKS 7.62x39 w/ Milled Receiver   21   $426.88   [0138]   As-Issued   Good   Now that's a gun worthy of a $400 valuation!
544173124   Chinese Norinco SKS 762x39 All Matching #'s Nice   9   $360.00   Blank (late build)   As-Issued   Good   These late builds are certainly not my favorite guns out there, but they are all solid shooters.

545448194   Chinese SKS---All Matching   2   $325.00   [0141]   As-Issued   Fair   That S/N stamping on the matching stock has an extra zero in it.  Even the Chinese couldn't keep their S/N system consistent and in check 100% of the time!
