 I have a brand new Ksports Sks with the green butler creek stock that i picked up from my elderly neighbor for $150 a few years ago.
I already own 3 Sks and I'm looking to part with but don't have a clue on what I should be selling it for! I know they're somewhat "rare" and it's in perfect condition. Any suggestions are appreciated!!

More pics is needed to determine value.  Especially pics of the left side of the reciever.  Is it numbers matching?  It is not "rare".  It is an odd ball and by the info you have posted so far, I would not pay more than $250 for it.

I forgot to add it that is all matching! Regardless thank you for the reply!

4-450$ current market, my guess on what it would sell for on gbroker with penny start no reserve, good pics

From that pic(more needed definitely), it looks like a legit K-Sports Parkerized Para.

If so then it is worth more than $400-$450.

What planetary alignment is happening?
I should just figure out a way to buy this if you are selling.
This has been the month or so of K-Sports, almost like a new shipment came in.

I covet. Sad thing is...the average Joe wouldn't.
Sadder thing is...everyone here would.
Therefore...I covet hardest.

As was mentioned in the earlier replies, more pics are needed for a closer, finer-tuned estimate of worth for your K-Sports Parka Para.

I sold my new-in-box Parka Para about 6-7 years ago. It sold quickly with multiple buyers wanting seconds if the buyer didn't follow through. I sold it to a member on another board. No GunBroker or online auctions were needed. As always, YRMV.

It appears you have the original box, which is a plus. If you have the original black sling which matches the type of sling swivels on the Parka Para stocks, that's also a plus. I'm not sure how the Chinese coil spring sling is attached to your rifle in the pic. That's not the sling that was included with the K-Sports Parka Para. Just be careful about marring the finish taking the coil springs out.

Here are a few pics of mine with all the original accessories that came with it.







Best of luck! You should have no problem finding a buyer if you haven't already!  :)

FC, does that sling still mount to the gas block sling loop on your Parka Para? Does it have a QD sling loop on both ends of the sling?

Hey GG. It just has the quick-detach for the rear/buttstock sling attachment. The front still goes through the sling loop on the gas block.  thumb1  I made the mistake of using the term "sling swivels" in my earlier post after re-reading it. It should have just been singular.

That's about the nicest Chicom oil bottle I've ever seen.

I'm sending GG 1 or two like that, but that finish seems to come off pretty quick if they're actually used.
