I just got my first rifle at the last gun show here in KC. I was looking at a black stock SKS, fairly beat up, but OK, at a dealer's table for $500. A guy walked up behind me and said he'd make me a deal, he had a nice looking Norinco with a scope, bought it from him for 400.
I had only been there for 10 minutes so I was a little nervous I would see a better deal later on, but I didn't. I think I got the best SKS at the show that day. I know they used to be cheaper but $400 for one that is in decent shape seems to be the going rate.
Shot it a couple weeks ago, very fun to shoot, of course the scope wasn't anywhere near accurate, and the bayonet screw fell out, which we couldn't find. I got home and took the scope off, but the takedown latch had been replaced with just a bolt.
I found the website buymilsurp.com, it had a bayonet screw, with nut and washer this time, and a new takedown lever for about $16 including shipping. If anyone needs odds and ends for SKS's, and I'm sure AK's and probably a lot of other rifles, that is a good place to go.
Now I need some more ammo, but I'm not even going to bother going all the way up to the gun show tomorrow, don't want to drive that far, fight the crowd, and pay $10 to be disappointed with no ammo.
