Is this a good deal?

[Sandman]

A yugo SKS with black stock, original wood stock, bayonet, 2-20 round mags with 280 rounds of ammo for $325? All the numbers match and is in good condition.

[Mike.357]

sounds like a good deal. Did you also get the original ten round fixed magazine?

[Sandman]

I haven't got it yet. I don't know ANYTHING about an SKS and was just wondering the consensus before buying.

[Garufa]

All #'s matching, fully intact Yugos go for around $300. So with all that other junk, I'd say its a fair price.

[Sandman]

all numbers match but it does not come with the original 10 round mag. Apparently it still has the packing grease on it.

[AMSting]

Depends on what you want to do with it. Without the original mag, you lose out on the originality. If you're just going to shoot it, I would go for a Chinese version as those had a chrome lined barrel. The Yugos are fine weapons, but unless you are collecting, the Chinese versions are cheaper.

[Mike.357]

being a Yugo and still packed in grease I wonder what happened to the fixed ten round magazine

[mr.ak47]

yugo's in my opinion are Ok :/ sks's but if your just going to be shooting as mentioned before a good norinco would be best suited and you can get them for about 100 less and spend the rest on buying ammo 7.62 has come down some so you can pick up 1000 rounds for 199 +shipping which for me was like 14 bucks... AND MIKE and garufa when is the next range session i haven't been up there in a while,couldn't find my key for a month lol and then went out to cali for a month

[Guest Keinengel]

I bought one of those with all original parts and an extra tacpo receiver cover scope mount for $175 OTD less than 3 years ago. I also bought my first Norinco for exactly $100 a year before that. its kinda crazy how the prices on these have gone up so much and so fast.

I think I've said it here before but aftermarket mags on the SKS don't feed for crap. Especially if its the plastic ones.

[peejman]

That's a reasonable price. Personally, I'd lose the tacti-cool crap and restore it to original. And yes, some folks have lots of trouble with anything other than the stock magazine.

[glockster157]

I would say that is a little high. I would offer him about $250. I doubt if you paid 325 you could get your money back in the near future if you decided to sell.
