Im buying it from a buddy of mine for $200. Its a '51 Russian complete with bayonet. I've fired it before, and you could shoot an ant off a long with this thing. Im going to remove the box magazine and replace it with a 30 round banana clip. The SKS has been my favorite model for years, and im glad to finally be getting a Russian. I already have a Yugoslavian M59/66 model with a rifle grenade launcher. I just wish i could shoot them more, but the 7.62x39 is about a quarter per round around here.
