gmc ----- I have a Norinco "paratrooper" SKS with a synthetic folding stock. You mentioned "seeing how much they are going for". I carry it on my ATV because it is so much handier than a std. length SKS. What are they going for in today's market approx. ??? Thanks for your reply.

$800+

Very nice Boris. I need to update photos of my heap. The ones I've kept (Russian, Romanian, Yugo, Albanian, and Chinese), look like yours (mostly carried/used - some as issued), but with a mess of various Para examples too. I luvs me some short girls PAX

The SKS seems to have made a difference in recent years, even before they were used to guard Ukrainian prisoners (seen in this photo).

Purchased this Chinese "SKS TRAINER" PELLET RIFLE, about 20 years ago for $15. It came in with a load of SKS rifles selling for $98. the trainer still works & is a tack driver.

gmc ----- Thanks for the info. That's about 10 X more than what I gave for it. I'd say that was a good investment .

 

[Gunhead]

Thanks Gunhead. I'll be on the lookout for "birds beak" mags.

Sent you some pics.

Sent you some pics.

I'd always heard them referred to as "duckbill" magazines. I guess either will work.

Here's a SKS45 with a couple of SKS56 Public Security rifles

 

[jjjxlr8]

My favorite SKS....1954 Izhevsk.

 

[firstchoice]

Excellent looking trio, jjjxlr8! I ended up with a couple of refurbed '54's in trying to acquire SKS-45's of my birth year. You landed a beautiful '54 specimen, though!

Love the dual 公安 Chinese Public Security rifles! Is the top PS gun a /416\ arsenal and the bottom PS gun a [0141] arsenal?

Thanks for posting them! Are they posted somewhere in a multiple-pics thread? I'd like to see both of those in more detail!

My '53 Tula I call the Green Hornet. I think it could be saved, but the color has kinda grown on me. PAX.

A few crappy pictures of my 2 Romys. A '59 & a '60, both rough looking which I guess is not uncommon. They're re-furbed with forced match, one has matching numbered stock, the other came in a black Tapco (original furniture is cracked), bayos, no slings, rods, or kits. I'm happy. Apparently they're in typical condition for Romys. '60 top, '59 bottom. The '59 seems the better of the two and I'll probably clean it up and leave it be, as it looks as if it's seen action. I'm a very happy camper, $548 for both 10 tears ago, which was good by Kali standards and very hard to find at those prices back then. The market here has gone crazy with the SKS baseline now at $600 and inventory thin. PAX

You can see the details of the [0141] here: Public Security I don't know if I've posted detailed pics of the other one or not. And yes, it is a /416\ rifle.

Bubbad arsenal [0141] Public Security Forces salvage and re-tool. Was in an ATI Monty with receiver cover mount (2 pieces gone forever). Bubba have too many rifles black, so Bubba use some style. Timbersmith, blank receiver cover, 5 round mag, Tech Sights 200, and Romy sling.
