It's hard to say, but I think SKSs are going for 200-250, you might be able to get 300 +. But if you have the original stock & top cover too you could add about 50-70% of what those aftermarket parts are worth to start with.
Most people want these as original as possible.

i have all the original parts as well.

would $450 be asking to much ???

yes.. you will probably get 350 max. its kind of like a harley, doesnt matter how much you put into it.

can't you still buy yugo SKS's for around 250 or so for the used but not abused rifles and 300-350 for unissued? i think you'd be better off selling the rifle with all it's original furnture and then selling the after market stuff seperately.

That would be my suggestion.

I personally know of a person in the Lancaster area that recently rec'd a M59/66 with the cleaning kit in the butt stock and the original leather sling and oiler with pouch from an online private seller on one of the forums.
Shipped to his door total $220

I checked the gun and has a very nice shiny bore and all numbers are stamped and matching.
The wood is sound with a few handling marks and needs cleaning. The blue on the metal is maybe 75%. This gun will make a fine shooter.

Figure the T-stock w/blade cut and T-mag you should be able to move for another $65.

The gas tube and rear cover with scope maybe another $45-50.

300 rounds of ? maybe another $60.

So lets add it up:
$200 and condition is everything so this is a give and take
65
45
60
------
$370 if the stars are aligned in your favor and you don't have to ship.

When you have to ship you add the cost of shipping and a lot of times that kills it for the buyer and he becomes uninterested.

However as a unit $370 would be a tough sell MHO.
Not that it couldn't be done if the climate would be right. However right now it is a buyers market from what I've been seeing over the past few months.
Again thats just MHO.

I would put the original equipment back on it and take it from there if it were me.
If you have any more questions or concerns please feel free to PM me.

I just bought a Norinco for $200. Its worth a lot more without the Tapco stuff on it. When I was looking for mine I wouldn't even consider one all Tapco'd out. But other people have different tastes there might be someone that sees yours and thinks its tits. The market will dictate it true value.
