Value?

[240sleeper]

I have this new in box (what i believe to be refurb) Russian  sks and was wondering the value. Also any specific info on the gun would be appreciated

Not much to go on from those pictures but it looks like a heavily refurbished early 1950s SKS-45 with the bbq paint. $450+

I agree with the $450+ price range. However, I'm not sure how the shutdowns are affecting prices right now.

More photos and info might change that, but only marginally.

Is it all matching? (Stock, bolt, carrier, mag, trigger, cover and gas tube?)

Is the bore chrome lined ?

Do you know if the bolt and carrier are the early design with a spring loaded firing pin.

Overall, looks like a solid gun, nice catch too.

Here's better pics. Numbers matching

It looks like the fonts match the receiver on the parts shown. That could be the original 1951 receiver cover (year is consistent with the 45 degree gas block) despite the refurbishment mark. The black bbq paint is still a detraction but I'd revise it up to $500+ assuming every part matches down to the gas piston, as you mentioned.

What about the K-Sport? PAX

I think $450-500 is about all the money for the Russian in this virus-shutdown economy.  If things pick up, it might go $50-100 more later.

What about the K-Sport? PAX

Anyway.  You said K-Sport, and I can see a box in the pics, so here's one for good measure.

The K-Sport Para in the OD green composite Butler Creek stock is a freaking dandy.  Best handling SKS ever.  Really

good looking sks's.

That's what I'm talking about. I cloned one using a K-Sport branded Butler Creek stock and a K-Sport Para Hunter. It's actually cleaner with the differently neutered FSB. PAX
