484753980   Tula SKS 7.62x39 Russian 1954 Matching cai import   18   $530.00    1954   Tula   As-Issued   Very Good   ГT7055   Pretty nice gun here and a decent price for an as-issued gun, even if it is one of the more common years.

485490694   Russian SKS 1953 - Near Mint!   1   $575.00    1953   Tula   Light Refurbished   Very Good   ЛH796   Good chunk of change for a light refurb with an XXX'd stock.  Everything else on it is nice and crisp though.

486322785   Russian Tula SKS 7.62x39 Like New!   1   $599.00    1952   Tula   Heavy Refurbished   Good   BH1863   Double refurb by the looks of the receiver cover.  Don't see too many of those.

486499547   STUNNING NIB 1952 RUSSIAN SKS from Tula   39   $1,025.00    1952   Tula   Light Refurbished   Good   ЗH3485   Wow, ridiculous valuation for a refurbed gun like this.  I guess that's what a two person bidding war does.  I suspect mr b***k A+(1) is having buyers remorse, especially since J***5 NR likely had no intent of winning the auction.  I wonder if we see this one pop up again from the same Aspark1 seller?   

486817994   Russian SKS 20" 7.62X39 Semi Auto Rifle. Layaway!   5   $465.00    Uncertain   Uncertain   Bubba   Fair   ЗИ676   A bit pricey for a bubba like this one.

486872054   Russian SKS 1954 Izhevsk 7.62x39mm   17   $525.00    1954   Izhevsk   Heavy Refurbished   Good   ГД117   Hopefully the winner of this one isn't a member here.  I would bet that this one is not a '54 Izhevsk.  There is no feature that marks it as one except the receiver cover, and the serial number is not in the '54 Izhevsk pattern at all...

487001413   Tula Russian SKS 7.62X39 Excellent NR   4   $425.00    1954   Tula   Heavy Refurbished   Good   ИE9836   Neat deep diver down (1st GRAU Arsenal, Balakleya) on the right side of the stock.

487059644   Russian SKS-45 7.62x39 by KBI.LOW$$$ NICE!   1   $350.00    Uncertain   Uncertain   Uncertain   Good   Uncertain   Bubba surprise with this one.  Last photo shows the original box and a few original items, I wonder if the stock made it too?

487346913   1957 Russian SKS Letter Rifle Unfired since Import   7   $612.00    1957   Tula   As-Issued   Very Good   ЛH5167_И   One of the nicer guns available this month.  Hardwood stock with all the right crossbolt stamps.

487379106   RUSSIAN SKS 99% Condition. Scoped 7.62 x 39mm   18   $307.00    Uncertain   Tula   Bubba   Good   TШ837   Does this banana mag make me look fat?

487525608   Russian Izhevsk SKS 7.62x39 original sling   1   $449.95    Uncertain   Tula   Heavy Refurbished   Fair   HM1273   No Virginia, this is not a Izhevsk no matter how much you want it to be.  Note the early tall RSB and tall receiver.  Just because it has XYZ receiver cover, doesn't make the gun XYZ.

487537448   Soviet Russian SKS 1953R, Laminate Stock, 7.62x39   11   $445.00    1953   Tula   Light Refurbished   Good   ME4086   Pretty decent light refurb here.  Nice bright carrier and clean bluing all over.

487865092   Russian Tula Manufactured SKS   1   $475.00    1953   Tula   Heavy Refurbished   Good   PT2321   Ex-ex-DDR here.  Not a bad looking gun all in all.

487931395   Beautiful Russian SKS Tula 1952 Not Laminated   22   $524.00    1951   Tula   Light Refurbished   Good   MП739   22 bids, wow!  That's impressive for a plain Jane gun like this with a poor presentation (not horsetrash, just not as good as it should be for 5+ Benjamins.

488043188   RUSSIAN SKS LAMINATE STOCK WITH BAYONET 7.62x39   1   $475.00    1951   Tula   Heavy Refurbished   Good   AЮ3967   Ex-ex-DDR here.  Not a bad looking gun all in all.

488105436   Russian SKS Tula 1954 original matching non refurb   4   $505.00    1954   Tula   As-Issued   Good   HП6055   Really nice gun here.  I'm surprised it went so low.

488172224   Russian SKS 1950 Tula arsenal Very good cond.   2   $355.00    1950   Tula   Bubba   Good   Uncertain   Definition of a horsetrash auction right here.

488557673   RUSSIAN SKS TULA UNFIRED MATCHING 7.62X39 NO RESV GREAT ESTATE FIND C&R OK UNTOUCHED UNISSUED BEAUTY   23   $742.00    1954   Tula   Heavy Refurbished   Good   ГH9304   Big bidding war on this one.  This heavy refurb is a $500 gun at most.

488585947   Russian SKS Excellent 7.62x39   4   $325.00    Uncertain   Uncertain   Bubba   Fair   ЛИ3658   $325 is about right for a gun like this...

488759233   Russian Tula SKS 7.62x39   9   $360.00    1954   Tula   Bubba   Good   Uncertain   I know it's not a great gun, but these auction photos are absolutely terrible!!!

488875610   Russian SKS 45 Tula Matching EXC No Reserve 1954 Tula made exc condition all matching pre AK47   27   $781.00    1954   Tula   Light Refurbished   Very Good   ИM6884   This gun has been sanded, no doubt about it.  The right side cartouche is nearly gone and the seller included great photos for everything....except the stock S/N and cartouche.  That's a shame.  I wonder if the buyer is having any buyer's remorse right now.

489375990   CAI Russian SKS 7.63 x 39 with bayonett and sling   1   $499.95    1951   Tula   Heavy Refurbished   Fair   BП5560   Typical black BBQ heavy refurb.  Not a horrible price compared to others I guess, but I think the buyer reached on this one.

489759673   Russian SKS Tula 1951 excellent shape matching #'s   11   $405.00    1951   Tula   Heavy Refurbished   Good   HM1967   Black bayo with a dull finish, don't see those all that often.

489972135   RUSSIAN SKS GREAT CONDITION *NR*   2   $405.00    Uncertain   Uncertain   Uncertain   Good   Uncertain   Pretty poor photospread to drop 4 Benjamins on a rifle with so many unknowns.  Has to be at least a light refurb as the laminate handguard and hardwood stock don't come close to matching.

490128897   Russian SKS matching numbers 1954 bayonet Tula   3   $589.00    1954   Tula   Light Refurbished   Good   BЛ6545   I like this gun more than some of the others on this list.  Stock has a nice look to it even though it's a replacement and has been sanded to within an inch of it's life.

490143798   Tula SKS 7.62x39 Item-S83   19   $340.00    Uncertain   Uncertain   Uncertain   Fair   Uncertain   Nothing much to see here, auction photos are horsetrash though.

490333886   Russian Tula SKS All matching numbers No Reserve   1   $580.00    1952   Tula   Heavy Refurbished   Good   Uncertain   Pretty high price for a heavy refurb (and a plain Jane at that)

491072194   SOVIET TULA SKS CARBINE - EXCELLENT   1   $400.00    1954   Tula   Heavy Refurbished   Good   ИЛ7811   Somebody hit the BIN on this one.  Not a bad gun, though the photos aren't great.
