But then it's highly flammable due to the high alcohol content, so you definitely have to light it up and burn that off.

Not good on current pricing, I paid $99 for my chinese sks and $99 for 1000 round of steel core in 1988.
I sent my trigger assembly to SKS triggers, improve the safety of the SKS carbines
and paid him $65 bucks for a trigger job and I'm a very happy man. He removed the creep and took it from an awful trigger to an acceptable, not great trigger. Get it done.

It's all a matter of time, I bought 10 Russian SKSs in unfired condition for $86.00 each....in 1990, long gone now. I think Century was giving away a free Markarov with an order of 20, but what the heck would I have done with one of those.

I went to "goose" many years ago. Walked in walked around and walked out. Have had no good reason to go back.
Same with powder horn and a few others down that way.
The only place i have actually spent money at here in ma (i really have not been out much in the past few years)
Fourseasons, outback arms, plimoth bay and zero hour (old days)
Other than that I traveled to other places like Heritage gun and coin and NH like Al's. Basically because they had what I wanted for a price i was willing to pay. Al's was worth the drive for shotgun reloading supplies as was heritage.

I wish i could have gotten that deal. Unfortunately I wasn't born till the following year...

The prices already went up. Hard to give you a price range based on your post. Price depends.....Yugo? Russian? Norinko?
For comparison 2 years ago I paid $450 for a norinko in Excellent condition. Not mint....but well taken care of. Norinko is the lower end of the price range.
These are not super accurate rifles. They work well.....at least mine and the ones I've tried out do. They are fun to shoot....and economical as well using steel cased ammo of course. They are good as a carbine carbine.....short and compact......easy to operate as well. 8 inch steel plate at 100 yards is fun and easy to hit if your paying Attention.....but your not going to win any semi auto cmp matches with one regularly.
Triggers range from complete shit to acceptable. $65 spent with kivari company to do the trigger job made mine acceptable.
The rumors regarding the safety are true....it only prevents the trigger from being pulled. Add in the free floating firing pin and you have a rifle that should be handled with care if your actually carrying it loaded (hunting). Mine has "double" fired before on 3 occasions. Stripping the bolt down and giving it a good cleaning in the firing pin channel fixes this problem.

Chinese 400-550
Yugo 400-500
Russian 550+
Still one of the better milsurp deals today.
If You wait for the minimum number above "deal" you will likely miss out on many. Add $50 (10%) and 450 is still a good deal IMO. The Russians are higher.
No more Chinese (except the recent Albanians ala classic) or Russians imports. Just the Yugos still being imported - I like the early M59 which are shorter and like the Russian than the longer M59/66. But the 66A1 has the night sights and grease launcher and gas block sight thingie that goes up.

Another victim of Sweaty Ben. It's too bad. The last 3-4 owners of Classic have been. . . . classic. I delinked from them completely due to stuff I saw on C&R FB pages and elsewhere. Just a damned shame.
And $400 for a SKS. Things are getting scarce when a $150 gun goes for $400. Damn! Where teh heck are all the $100-150 SKS's that were sold 20 years ago??? Someone has a big cache somewhere. LOL

Whoa boy. Just saw this thread.
I don't spend as much time on that leg of the Cape as I used to but I've gone into Goose Hummock plenty of times. I've bought three guns from them in 18 years, all decently priced and no-hassle sales. After seeing this thread though I am not spending my money there ever again. That whole situation is royally f*cked. Sorry you had to deal with that, OP.
As far as Sweaty Ben goes, that slimy bastard has never gotten my business and never will.

Sometimes I chuckle a little when I think of all the guns I own and bought brand new before many of you young guys were born.
That said, I'm glad that they are still turning out a new batch of Gun-Lovers every year...
Welcome and Prosper!

I also had no luck finding just a pin. I was able to find a latch w/ pin from buymilsurp.com. This was the only place I could find that explicitly contained both the latch and pin. Receiver Cover Latch with Pin SKS Rifles - $16.00 : Buymilsurp.com, Your source for military surplus.$16, so a bit pricey compared to the others out there. Hardware store roll pin would probably be the cheapest route.
The pin is the kind you need a press to deform it to fit. I took the bubba route and just used JB weld and filed it until it fit.

Oh yeah, there's definitely no knife length law. This was Shooters Outpost in Hooskett, NH and they were great to work with. They just had to do the check to make sure we didn't have any new crazy laws pop up in MA that they weren't aware of, but otherwise had no problem selling to a MA resident with an LTC. They did say that they wouldn't sell any AR platform rifles to us, but that's hardly a surprise.
