jjjxlr8 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) I need to make room in the safe and help fund the next resident so these two rifles need new homes. Both rifles are in excellent condition and shoot great. 1) SKS "Sporter" from 1992 - ***SOLD*** to your FFL. paratrooper length barrel, unique thumbhole stock (which I find more comfortable than the shorter military stocks), and a very nice trigger. It’s designed to accept AK47 magazines. Comes with the original sling and unused 5 round magazine. Rifle is in excellent condition and doesn't have many rounds through it. 2) Public Security Force SKS56 from arsenal /016\ - pulled from market to your FFL. This rifle also has the original sling and was imported by Kengs Firearm Specialties. I think I still have the original box for this one, but I need to check. This is a pinned barrel example with the side mount rear sling swivel and a milled trigger housing. It's is all matching except for the magazine, which is an excellent condition Chinese military replacement stamped with a different number. The original owner misplaced the magazine so I had to search for an appropriate replacement. It wasn't easy finding one that had an excellent finish to match the rest of the rifle! I accept USPS money orders or cash for FTF purchase (I'm in located in NW Ohio). Both rifles need to ship to an FFL01 or can be sold to residents of Ohio with proper ID for a FTF purchase. I have great feedback on many of the popular gun forums as well as Gunbroker and I know you'll be happy with either (or both!) of these fine rifles.

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Damn, I have been in the market for a decent SKS lately. I was kinda looking for a cheapie, but I might be able to come up with some extra cash if you still have these when I get back from vacation in a couple of weeks. PMed.

Scotty2Hotty Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 That Sporter is most interesting, lemme see if I got any room for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjxlr8 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Both of these examples are very uncommon and in exceptionally nice condition. The Sporter is also known as the SKS M and is highly sought after because it is designed to take standard AK47 magazines. They didn't import many of these in 1992 before they were banned. I like it because it has a nicer trigger and a slightly longer buttstock than the miltary version. The shorter barrel is handy, too, and doesn't seem to affect accuracy when compared to the military version. A few months ago these SKS M rifles were selling for $500-$600 when you could find them and I'm sure they'll go up again once the economy gets going. Now is a great time to buy! The SKS56 has the two Chinese characters on the right side of the receiver that indicates this was a Public Security Force rifle. These are quite rare and are very collectible. The Public Security Force rifles were only made at 3 Chinese Arsenals - /026\, /016\, and [0141] and are of the highest quality. I showed this rifle to a Chinese national that I was training at work and you should have seen the look on his face! He couldn't believe that I had one of these! I guess the Chinese Public Security Force is sort of like the Chinese equivalent of the Nazi SS and are feared by the Chinese populous. I've shot both of these rifles and they are very accurate. Here is a good site with great details on SKS collecting... http://www.yooperj.com/SKS.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjxlr8 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 That Sporter is most interesting, lemme see if I got any room for it. I'll even throw in an extra Chinese 30 rounder for you as a thank you for your service. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k239/jjjxlr8/SKS%20M/P1016016.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1647545493 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 What a great deal on both of these rifles. The SKS-M is worth the extra $100 over a normal SKS just because of the AK mags and usually the trigger pull is MUCH smoother on the SKS-M's than on the run of the mill SKS. I love my SKS-M. Jeremy is a great person to deal with too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
