Oops, sorry, this was at the Hamburg store. I'd give them a call anyway, I don't see why, if they had any left, that they'd sell them for more than what you would pay everywhere else (gun shows, web sites, local shops, etc).

Also, it shot like a champ! Really nice gun to shoot, especially after shooting an M44 all day!

Go here to figure out the date of your SKS:

Good reading. Had no idea the commie bloc/satellite countries built these guns that far into the era of the AK, AR, FAL, G3, FAMAS, et al. Good guns, but had to be a drag on economies when they could have been building stamped, folded AKs or G3s.

Then again the Chinese were/still are building T54s.

I bought one of the last remaining SKS they had. It was $280 plus 500 round of ammo so figure about $400. Its a great gun, accurate enough and a lot of fun. I had a smile on my face the whole time
