Check Dunhams Sporting Goods if you have one near you I was in Wabash a few days ago and they had several

For a 100 maybe 150 more you should be able to find an AK.

No such thing as a "cheap" SKS these days. Last check, the Yugo 59/66s were bringing $250+. They are about the only game in town; the Russian and Chinese guns - when they can be found - typically go for another $100-150 above that.

If you decide to shell out for an SKS, you are only a stone's throw in price from a Saiga Sporter, which IMO is the modern equivalent of the SKS - albiet shorter, lighter and with the added ability to accept detachable magazines.

And if you decide to shell out for a Saiga, you're not that far from a "real" AK, which is probably what you wanted to begin with.

I agree with shooter521, SKS's aren't cheap anymore. I remember I bought a Russian about 14 yrs ago for $175. I thought that was kinda high then but the rifle was in real good shape with all matching #'s. Personally, I really like the SKS and there are some nice ones for sale on here for between $300-$350.

As the others have stated with the amount your going to put into an SKS it most likely isn't worth it. I looked into getting one a while back after reading an outdated article on the SKS being a fun plinker, and while it certainly may be, for about 100 more you can get an AK or Saiga. Thats the point I'm at right now, trying to figure out of I want to throw some more money in for an AR or go the AK path, I'll be sure to PM you any info I may find out.

thanks guys i was looking for a carbine from high point but was told they are not around...and turtle where can you get an ak for 150???

 

[CSK22]

Hipoint carbines are a great little plinker keep your eye out on here and youll probly come across one, I think he was saying for 150 more then the price of an SKS

Whatever happened to the good old days when you could buy as many sks' that you wanted for under $100 each.

I just found my cousin a deal and got a super clean norinko sks for $300 including about 375 rounds of ammo. There are some decent deals out there. Just harder to find

 

[chubbs]

bought my current sks for 150 about a year ago. Just gotta keep your eyes open. Some of them guys that paid 100 bucks back in the day don't know how much they sell for now if there not really into guns

Supply dried up, but demand never did. Heck you can't even find the Mosin Nagants in the stores anymore.
I have SEEN people pay $600.00 for SKS's. When that was happening i wished I had a truckload, and a line of customers!

An SKS just sold on here for a pretty good price. Keep watching the classifieds.

That was the first gun I ever bought, I paid 69.99 and a brick of 1000 rounds for 63.00, that was a good time, anyone remember a lower price?

If memory serves me correctly that was about the price I paid in the mid 80's in NC without the ammo. Ammo was sure allot cheaper then.

walked into Dons for a laugh a while ago. He had three sks none cheaper than $800 and $1100 for a yugo with a dragonuv style stock.

 

[vxtip]

oh wow Dons a rip, good for a laugh they, he doesn't wanna sell guns, he just wants to make money, a friend told me yesterday at a range a guy offered him $800 for his SKS, i was like wow, do that and then buy 2 new ones with the money
