Father-in-law is now looking for an SKS

[juwaba98]

Pretty much like the title says, my father-in-law has decided suddenly that he needs an SKS in light of recent events. Anyone know of a source to find them? I checked AIM, Dan's, centerfire systems and gunbroker and gunsamerica and google. Did I miss a potential source? Anyone's cousin's uncle looking to get rid of one? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

does he have any nice bolt actions to trade? I have a 1954 russian less then 100 rounds from when I bought it 15 years ago. looks like it may have been a reissue as the numbers on the mag were reingraved.

He's looking to buy. He doesn't like getting rid of guns anymore than I do. I'm only doing the legwork for him because he lacks a basic grasp of computers in general much less the internet. I told him if he thought he wanted something similar to get it a couple of months ago, but I'm just a booger eating moron who has no idea what he is talking about. He'd be looking for something local as well I think but can ask him if you wanna put a cash value on yours. This isn't exactly the correct section of the forum to broker a deal so PM me if you want to try and discuss it further.

no sorry. If I let it go for cash it will get spent elsewere. I did see a few yugos at cabellas a few weeks back I wanna say they were in the high $300 range.
best o luck

Thanks! I just looked and they show one model in stock. I'll have to make some calls tomorrow!

Military Gun Supply of Ft. Worth has them in stock. I seen about 14 or 15 of them (Yugo) for around $200. Check out the website by adding a dot com after their name.

I hope you guys are buds, your on a fuzzy pic roll.

There are a hundred SKS's on www.gunbroker.com
Just put SKS in the search box, it will bring up a lot of them.

Don't know him from Adam but this is how he treated one of my threads and I am just returning the favor!

Now I'm confused. I was defending your thread and siding with you on the fact that the sight was clearly visible despite the assertions of another member. I didn't view your earlier comments as a slight at all, but this one has me a little perplexed.

All in the spirit of good clean fun my friend...............no need for being perplexed at all! Just rolling with the flow! atriot:

OK. I can handle that. Just seemed like perhaps somehow I came across wrong somewhere along the way and you were letting me know ever so subtly. I see it is as I originally thought. I actually looked for a kids drawing of an sks or a blurry pic after reading your first reply but never could.

I'm good if you're good!

Oh yeah, no problems here.

Have you also tried Samco Global
www.SAMCOGLOBAL.com
They show some Yugo SKS's.

 

[O.S.O.K.]

Uh, go to GunBroker.com Online Gun Auction and do a search for SKS and you will see several options - I recommend a good Chicom, Russian or Romanian over the Yugos. Yugos are great guns but I favor the chromed bores on those others. The Russians are the classics of course but the Romanians are really nice IMHO.

ETA - oops, guess this is a "second that" gunbroker reply - but really that's the place.

Oh, and I recommend keeping with the stock, 10 round fixed mag, using the stock sights (don't try and mount a receiver mounted scope mount - they all suck and will shoot loose). Get stripper clips for this if he wants quick-load capability and a cheap chicom chest pouch rig too - they are excellent really.

If he feels the need to upgrade the sights, then I would steer him to a rear-mounted aperture sight - I can't show this to you but I've seen these around -they mount behind the receiver cover - best going.

Ah - found it:
