484849121   Chinese Norinco SKS M AK47 Mags   25   $605.00    AK Magazine   Exporter Modified   Good   Stock dings take this one down quite a bit.  As XXX would say: No, this is not an M.

484874718   Norinco SKS Sporter 7.62x39 Rifle   5   $285.00    /316\   Bubba   Good

485803222   Norinco SKS 7.62X39 Folding Stock Rifle   11   $300.00    Blank (late build)   Bubba   Good   Here's one of those bizzaro S/N'd rifles.  Absolutely no information can be gleaned from the S/N that we know of (yet).  What an oddball.

485923414   Norinco SKS 7.62x39   1   $350.00    Uncertain   Bubba   Good   The more I see those 20 round fixed magazines, the more I'm starting to dislike them...

486170104   Chinese Trident Arms SKS Paratrooper Carbine 7.62   6   $303.00    Uncertain   Bubba   Fair   What an ugly gun here....

486190278   Norinco SKS 7.62 x 39 Used Scope No Reserve   3   $325.00    Uncertain   Bubba   Good   I like the red color of that stock, sure pops.  West coast rail on this guy too.

486198816   Norinco SKS 7.62X39   1   $365.00    (974)   As-Issued   Very Good   Not the greatest of photos, but it looks darn nice to me!

486313557   China SKS 7.62X39 Rifle   6   $305.00    Ghost   Bubba   Fair   Interesting that they stamped the stock with the small original S/N and then again with a tall wide S/N.  Only obvious refurb mark I fear we'll ever figured out from the Chinese...

486320304   Norinco SKS 7.62x39 Item S-262   16   $300.00    Uncertain   Uncertain   Good   Normally these guys have decent auctions...these photos are terrible here though.

486493666   SKS - Chinese 7.62 x 39 Semi-Auto   15   $365.00    Uncertain   Bubba   Good   I'd be exceptionally wary of that side rail that covers the S/N on this gun.  BATF says it's a big no-no.

486504498   SKS Chinese Military Issue ALL MATCHING   2   $350.00    /26\   Bubba   Fair   Why does it get a bubba designator you might ask?  That stock's been ruined by someone trying to 'make it better.'  They should have left it in the grease and not tried to make it look like a Remington 700. :/ 

486506798   Chinese SKS Sniper Model 7.62 x 39 Bi-pod BOX Nice Colt AR-15 Stag h&k CMMG dpms smith & Wesson ak-47   14   $800.00    Misc. Mods   Exporter Modified   Excellent   Awesome little Farmer's Friend here with all the bells and whistles.

486698747   Chinese Norinco SKS 7.62x39 All Matching Number NR   7   $242.77    [0138]   Bubba   Good   Not sure if the exporter or bubba ground off the cleaning rod retaining features and tossed the bayo, but this gun looks naked w/o them.

484426960   NORINCO SKS PARATROOPER 16" NO RESERVE   29   $535.00    Paratrooper   Exporter Modified   Good   Nice enough paratrooper, but the oxide layer on the metal looks terrible.  I can just imagine that getting your hands all black the first time you handle the thing.  K-Sports could have done better with these...

^ K-sports "paras" were parkerized, that's why it looks like crap, lol.

484849121   Chinese Norinco SKS M AK47 Mags   25   $605.00    AK Magazine   Exporter Modified   Good   Stock dings take this one down quite a bit.  As XXX would say: No, this is not an M.

^ Yep, not an M. Late Sporter, with a dinged up stock and changed our receiver cover. That's pricey for that gun IMO.

484874718   Norinco SKS Sporter 7.62x39 Rifle   5   $285.00    /316\   Bubba   Good 

^ Not a Sporter model....it's an import marked sporter.

485170877   * Norinco SKS 63 Semi Auto Rifle * AK-47 7.62x39   15   $560.00    AK Magazine   Exporter Modified   Excellent   Pretty nice SKS 63 here.

^ Nice 63. I meant to get this one, but missed the end of the auction. Good price. I am actually buying one from another member right now...and it's more $$ than that one sold for.

486190278   Norinco SKS 7.62 x 39 Used Scope No Reserve   3   $325.00    Uncertain   Bubba   Good   I like the red color of that stock, sure pops.  West coast rail on this guy too.

^ That's a K-Sports Para Hunter - great price!

487395394   NORINCO SKS SPORTER-7.62X39   1   $649.00    AK Magazine   Exporter Modified   Very Good

^ Another overpriced late Sporter. These things are not rare. There's tons of them out there.

487649226   Norinco Pre Ban 1988 SKS-D Model 63, AK mags,NIB!   22   $605.00    AK Magazine   Exporter Modified   Excellent   There was discussion on the 'other' boards that this gun was worth $1000 to $2000.  Sorry boys, total pipe dream there.

^ Another 63 I missed.... good price.

487793904   Navy Arms SKS Cowboy Companion paratrooper   17   $361.00    Paratrooper   Exporter Modified   Good   Navy arms 16" with a Type 89 mount, dual rivet with wide latch. 

^ Someone got a steal on that one!

488463818   Unfired NIB Norinco SKS D Takes AK Mags   12   $930.00    AK Magazine   Exporter Modified   Perfect   Complete package here.  Not sure if it's worth 9 Benjamins, but you'll not find a more pristine looking D these days!

^ The second D for sale this month. I really wanted this one. IMO this one is a tad more collectable that the other D because it has the odd filler in the stock in front of the mag well.

Oh, and I also don't understand the whole overpriced paratrooper thing. It's just a stock gun with a shortened barrel. Go buy a $300 SKS and shorten the barrel....  There's not even a way to VERIFY a para is legit unless you have the box it came in.

^ K-sports "paras" were parkerized, that's why it looks like crap, lol.

Proper parkerizing shouldn't leave a crumbly oxide layer on the outside that will come off if you look at it crosswise.  It should adhere nice and strong to the base metal, even though the dull luster will still be there.  I'm betting the K Sports guys didn't have the Chinese exporters properly degrease these guns before they went into the tank.

486190278   Norinco SKS 7.62 x 39 Used Scope No Reserve   3   $325.00    Uncertain   Bubba   Good   I like the red color of that stock, sure pops.  West coast rail on this guy too.

^ That's a K-Sports Para Hunter - great price!

Yup, I totally missed that one.  Nice catch PS!    That cheesy receiver cover scope mount threw me off, I didn't put two and two together with the west coast rail & the 16 1/2" barrel length.
