Commonly called /0406\ outside SKS-Files, but we call it /?5\ (because nobody can ascertain that the triangle code is indeed "0406" just by looking at it.)  This arsenal bears ressmblance to at least three others with extra digits within the center or upper triangle.

These guns are all military manufacture. Nothing commercial about any of them from /?5\

Thanks for the clue! In your estimation, worth paying $400 in 'minty' condition or pass?

Still always worth trying to get it for less.

Yeah, the /?5\ guns are pretty nice when they are in as-issued condition.  Well worth $400 IMO.   Make sure the stock S/N matches and the handguard color matches the stock.
