    Chinese type 56 (sks), really good shape. Had one of these about 25 years ago. Missed it so I jumped on this one when it became available in an estate sale. 25 years ago they went for $150. Now, $695.

    Had this 7.62x39 surplus ammo in the estate sale, too. $325 for 840 rounds. Steel-jacketed copper-washed bullets in steel copper-washed casings. Will have to do some tests on it to see if it has corrosive primers.

    I couldn't get the Remington made M1917 Enfield rifle I also wanted to buy, unfortunately. You win some, you lose some.

    Lots of fun right there. Great pick up 👍
    You probably know, but make sure there is no cosmoline inside it

    Yeah, I'm going to detail strip it and clean everything before I take it to the range. Good advice.

    Are those price tags what you paid for extra mags????

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.
