Thanks for the compliments, guys! The rifles speak for themselves, for sure.The crate is actually a Yugoslav Honor Guard SKS crate I was lucky enough to pick up from a member here (thanks SKhiSm 59-66A1!) in late 2015. I paid a lot more in freight than the cost of the crate, but like anyone else that's determined, I wanted it and paid the money. I've never regretted it.The crate:The original contents: (No, I wasn't that lucky! There were a few members here that did get lucky on those, though!)The inside, empty:Not really a "necessary" item, but still a bit of history and a little "cool" factor to it.They're a little long for the Chinese SKS because they're made for the Yugo M59/66A-1's but I don't mind. I didn't mean to hijack your thread, High Noon. I started by showing the "Ticklers" but gravitated to the crate. Gotta show off the goods every once in a while. firstchoice
About the $800, a wee bit too steep. With some more info, $650 might work.
You're right. Things do seem to have calmed down overall. Hang in there!
The French Ticklers are threaded barrels....? Is that right?

Thats not bad now ... given recent other sales.
Do it, you need it.
