On occasion I still deal with CF, but I prefer the online auction houses, GunBroker and Gunboards WTS sub-forum. It's nice to see at least a couple to a few dozen pics of the firearm I'm buying.

Of course CF just got those Chinese Type 54 Tokarevs that are a bit tempting. Curious as heck where they came from. Albania again? Their "unboxing" video is good for a few chuckles. "I wonder what those characters are on top of the slide?"

It seems that Classic may be holding onto any SKSs they have currently. Likely awaiting enough time for a price increase to seem more reasonable. 

BUT in the meantime you can buy a very overpriced SKS T-shirt.  Hurry though, it's limited edition!

I am gonna pass though, because the skinny model used reveals how badly they show moobs...and I know my man cans are bigger than his. 

Typical Classic, trying to make money on anything they can come up with, but a SKS rifle t-shirt? Give me a break!

Makes me wanna buy a shirt here instead. I wonder if they are still available?

Dang, you guys are brutal...!  I guess we eat our own.  You have to give them some credit, they do offer an assortment of MilSurp firearms.  I have had great luck with them.  You always set yourself up for disappointment when you pay extra for "Hand Select", there is no such thing.

They got me years ago with the Yugoslavian SKS batch, first buy was a very nice rifle, I paid extra for hand select (best out of 10) and numbers matching also if I remember correctly, the next month, bought another one with same extras, got a rifle that was non-matching, warped stock (had to fight just to re-insert trigger group) and had the look (and feel) of being dragged across Yugoslavia by a tank, after that classic never got my business again. I avoid them like the plague!

Before this panic to buy firearms at inflated prices, I purchased almost all my mil-surps on gunbroker, a couple on local armslist, but before I made any purchase, I made sure it was number's matching and always requested extra pictures, I avoid classic firearms and PSA because I don't trust them.

Look at Simpson LTD,  i bought my K31 from them in 2014 for $250 they even called me asking if i was alright with its condition and described it as being in bad shape....    when i got it i couldnt find an issue, it shot great and the bore looked fine.

Prices from $695 to $995! They have some nice SKS rifles but a little steep for my taste for the moment!

I posted an honest review of both rifles PSA Grade2 and Classic + hand select, on classic's  facebook group  and they werent too happy with my review.   It was removed by their moderators within an hour.   Nothing slanderous just an honest review.

From what I heard they do the same thing on their website [reviews], I think it is messed up they do that, it also shows their dishonesty, and another reason why I will never do business with them!

Sportsmans Guide did the exact same thing to one of my reviews a couple of weeks ago.
I was completely honest, and even gave an overall positive review, but they wanted no part of me telling folks that part of a kit was a knockoff.
