5 Romys this month. I still consider the Romy to be the best value in SKSs today. They are built like tanks, even if they trend a bit uglier then their brethren.

If you have an objection or observation to add to anything I've listed, by all means call it out. Let's look at it long and hard (I only look at each listing for a minute or two at most) and maybe everyone can learn a thing or two!

576807699 Romanian SKS, Dated 1958..All Match Serial Numbers 16 $505.00 1958 As-Issued Good Absolute steal. Beautiful gun, looks all correct to me.
573956050 Romania CUGIR SKS Mod 56 7.62x39 (1069H) 7 $220.00 1958 Bubba Poor Woo hoo, rattle can of silver spray paint (check), black composite stock (check), duckbill mags (check), tapping the receiver (check), chopping the bayo (check)! All in all it gives us this monstrosity. Someone please put it out of it's misery….
573618923 Rare C&R Unfired Romanian SKS Model 56, No Reserve 1958 dated, perfect bore, Cugir, 7.62x39mm, Yugo 18 $455.00 1958 Refurbished Good One of those "ALMOST all matching" guns, (except for minor things like the stock and the gas tube). Odd that they'd replace those things on an unfired gun…must be all the sitting around corrodes the gas tube and rots the wood more quickly I guess….
579543973 Romanian M56 SKS carbine from the Cugir Factory 1 $425.00 1958 Refurbished Good Not a bad specimen here. Price is reasonable for a restocked gun with decent metal. Very clean /115\ stamping on the left barrel lug.
578363922 Romanian SKS 6 $329.11 1960 Uncertain Good Terrible listing, that could be a $700 carbine or a $200 one. Someone took a chance on this one if they didn't get additional photos.
