Norinco sks

Post by Rustynail »

I have a family member that wants to sale his norinco sks in 95-100% good condition. It comes with ammo 1 tapco 20rd mag and a no name 30 rd mag. No bayonet. I offered him 300 for all is it worth that much? And How would I tell if it is a mil surp or made for the civilian market? Thanks for any info

I had one that I bought new for $67.50 a long time ago. I was never convinced it was very accurate, 2 inch group at 25 yards kinda stuff. Always wondered if I was wrong about it. Sold it 5 years ago for $275

Well, it's definitely no earlier than 1953. Passed on one locally a few weeks ago-my main interest is milsurps from WWII or earlier.

You did well. Personally; I would leave it in the original configuration, sell the added mags & get some stripper clips.

It's a Spike bayonet version so at the very earliest it's a mid 60's. Would need to see clearer pictures and more features to tell you more.
