I'm pretty sure that I found one.  I've done some research and have read the sticky thread above.  I'm a little tight right now but I'm considering it...no!....yes?...no!....maybe?....no!....   :-\

What does a good example of these usually go for?

Price REALLY depends on what you got... 

Serial range?
Blued carrier?
Laminate stock?
Stock matching?
Painted arab rack number? 
      
1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.

If you have a pic but don't want to share it publicly right now, PM it to LC...

Serial range? 12 million
Blued carrier? Yup
Laminate stock? Yup
Stock matching? Can't say, I don't see any serial number in the normal spot in the pics.
Painted arab rack number?  Nope.

Laminated stock wont have a stamped number.   thumb1

Looks good...  100℅ original minus the butt thingy you can easily remove.  An arab painted number on the stock would have been nice, but its def an Israeli Capture.  The Rack numbers (when present) adds a good $125 to $150 to a gun in my opinion, but a blued carrier with correct laminate stock like this one....  I'd ask how bad do you want it?   :))

In my opinion its a $500 to $550 gun.

Likely one of the cleanest ones I've seen, and the serial is smack dab in the middle of the known range.

Thanks for the help! I'm tight right now but may push it a little. You never know.... ☺

Thats a very collectable sks...  I would sell some plasma or stand on the street corner with a homeless sign to get the rest of the funds needed.

Thanks man; I just think that thing is cool as hell.  Built by China in '68, shipped to Syria, found it's way to Lebanon, captured during the Lebanon war by Israel and shipped to the US for private sale.  That's a lot of history for one gun....

Ended at 8:47PM EST.  I placed the bid 20 minutes before the auction ended....waited, waited, waited....WTF?  OK :D

I'm seeing a 'soft' market too...  Strange considering our 2A is once again on the line with the election.
