Welcome from SW Missouri, PolishX!
Hope to see more pics soon. How's the SKS selection up your way?

Selection is rather thin unless you like 750 chinese or $1500 russian SKS that look like bubba got a hold of them. Occasionally you find deals like this one and you have to jump on them. Same thing with AK's really.
Yeah, sounds like you're encountering the same crazy inflated prices as the Lower 48. I went to a local 400-table gun show two weeks ago that had
two SKS. One Chinese @ $750.00 and one Yugo at $1250.00. (No idea why the big price tag on the Yugo) There's just not much in the way of "deals" on them around here and I'm not hopeful for any time soon. The occasional "found a great deal" story comes around every once in a while, but it's the exception right now.
I can't tell much by your photos but is it nice and as-issued looking overall? I like the ones still in grease and looking like they are fresh from the arsenal!
