$799, very good condition and with 40 round magazine

I probably could have gotten one off of gunbroker for a little less, but not in this condition or without it being bubba'ed

You also have to keep in mind that, since about 2005, there seems to only be like 4 SKS' that aren't tore-up hunks of crap for sale during any given year in the whole of both Galveston and Harris county

[SPEMack618]

Eh, that's not too bad at all.

I remember there was an untouched Chi-Comm SKS of some sort at the local pawn shop, still had the bayonet, grenade launcher, and grenade tangent sight.

Stayed at the pawn shop for about a year, $400 price tag.

Thought about it a bunch, and never got it. Gone within a day after Sandy Hook.

This thing looks like someone ran a few mags through it and then stuck it in the back of their closet until they needed some money and figured that they could stand to part with it.

[SPEMack618]

Yeah, it looks good, for a thumbhole stock.

I would have gotten said SKS if I didn't already have a WASR-10.

The pic I posted isn't mine, it was just the best one of that rifle that I could find. The thumbhole stock on it is unergonomic as hell, but I don't really care. At least it's decently comfortable for a leftie like me to use, unlike some thumbhole stocks

[SPEMack618]

Ah, gotcha.

Are those thumbholes replacable?

Damn import bans.

I think so, but I probably won't swap it out. The redneck in me thinks that this is the coolest thing ever.

[SPEMack618]

Ah, yes. The inner redneck.

my inner redneck, who apparently is of the methmaker type, thinks his Tec-9 is probably the coolest gun he has.

The redneck in me thinks that stuff like that Norinco is awesome; the coon-ass Cajun in me thinks that it's awesome, too, and that he and the redneck in me should go get some beer
