ad closed 1952 Tula Russian SKS - Nearly perfect condiiton

[williamv]

Good morning everyone!

This is a tough one for me but I am downsizing the collection. This is a 1952 Tula, all numbers matching as far as I can tell. Blueing is nearly perfect as is overall condition of the rifle - a few shellac chips is as bad as it gets! I shot it once and based on the cosmoline I found when cleaning it afterwards, that may have been the first/last time. I installed a firing pin kit at that time to prevent slam fires (Murray's Guns - original is included). I can't find an import mark but they can be really hard to find sometimes so it may very well have one.

I'm not crazy about selling a rifle that is only going up in value but I think my Soviet collection may turn into just pistols! Comes with a manual ($7.95 value in 1990!). I also just realized that the cleaning kit is in the butt - first time I pulled it out as I didn't want to scratch the butt plate, so that's kind of neat. Not looking for trades as I am downsizing.

Please be able to meet in Collierville, have ID, and be legally allowed to own a firearm. Thank you for looking!

Price is $950

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

Thanks. Yeah if Tennessee were narrower we’d all have WAY more guns!

I can’t say I love everything about living in Nashville these days (even though I was born and raised here) but at least I am right in the middle of the state so no one is really too far away if I am really interested in something.

I need to make it out there - it looks like a really cool town. I'm from the Southwest so it's all new for me!
