I grabbed this one a few days ago in SE MO. for $400. Figured I better get one now, they're only getting more expensive. This one is a rather nice piece.

Looks like a rather nice 1977 Type 56 from a rather scarce arsenal.
Nice looking rifle. The receiver markings look like they are finely etched (acid etching) instead of stamped, at least to me. Very nice catch.
Yes, they are getting more expensive. Talked to a guy today at a LGS who
1. couldn't believe I collected the "dumb" things,
2. couldn't believe what they are going for now, and
3. had to make the obligatory, "why, I remember.....".
Yeah, don't we all.
Well, SM, just like the rest of us, you're hooked thumb1.
Very nice!
That's a really pretty one.
And you're right, they're not gonna get any cheaper.
Very nice thumb1
A nice one indeed! thumb1
beauty, nice price too. you did good. thumb1

Now, coat it in cosmoline and put it up for 20 more years.... ;)

Surprise find.

Very Nice find!!! thumb1. I'm semi-new to the SKS game also and got lucky with a few good finds. "WARNING" It becomes addicting!!! whistle12
As you talk to people around you about it, don't be surprised if someone announces that they have "one a them things" in a closet at home.......
Be ready to buy when that happens.
