Gator Monroe Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Started my SKS collection with a Smithsonian Condition T series (1983) Yugo M59/66A1 (Blonde/Unissued/As New condition hand picked by me from 13 Rifle selection including my choice coming from a consecutive serial number pair included in the bunch) . Then I desired a Chinese variant so I De-Bubbafied a 1968 Arsenal 26 Paratrooper and returned it to its Original Configuration & Glory with correct Para Spiker Bayo & Para Spike Cut Stock and I love this Rifle (A real Handy Carbine) ... The Bucket list SKS for me is an Early "Spiker" (Crucifix Bayo) Laminated Stock non-refurb all original & Matching 1949 Tula Arsenal Russian SKS ...

blue109 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 My wife's dad has an old Russian, but I never looked too closely at it. Don't think we've ever even had it out at the range. Have to take a look at the stamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Monroe Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 The Russians have Arsenal mark & Date Manufactured on the Top Back of the Topcover , the 49 SKS had differing Machining on some parts and different Handguards , the 49 & 50 Russians also had a spring loaded Firing pin from the factory. The 49 Russians are valued at between 700.00 $ & 1400.00$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
