It's all there, and the proof is there too.  I don't know about you, but when one site says "it's X", another site says "it's Y", and a third says "it's Z and here's why", I go with site Z every time.

Great job as always RM :)

Here's a few notes...

640361263 | Chinese SKS Paratrooper Carbine | 1 | $624.99  | Paratrooper | As-Imported | Good |

This jackass finally sold this gun. I wanted this one for a while and made him reasonable offers, but he was pretty rude and wouldn't budge. This is actually an early Cowboy Companion, with holes drilled for the mid-receiver mount.

634668679 | Chinese SKS Paratrooper Low SN No Reserve | 1 | $500.00  | Paratrooper | As-Imported | Good |

Another CC...with the clip style rail that's not broken!

640857000 | SKS M Norinco Thumbhole | 9 | $595.00  | SKS M | As-Imported | Good |

Not only does this M have the wrong stock... someone put a regular FSB on it too :(

635799949 | Norinco SKS sporter like D M 7.62x39 AK-47 mags | 11 | $555.00  | Uncertain | Bubba | Fair | Sporter, M? Who knows

It's a Sporter.

Man, the Bubba was strong this month  cry1

I still can't believe how much SKS-Ms are selling for. They are the MOST common commercial model!

Wow, good eyes Sal.  I missed a bunch this month!  ???

Got them fixed and redid the averages.  Not too big a change all in all...  thumb1
