ScubaCinci Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 So I should have bought some? He asked when I picked upmy DPMS and I said no. Think they were $15/each. Why so popular? NobamaAre you talking about magazines? They were asking $25 for mags and not even magpuls. There's a big demand for the 30 round one because people are worried they'll be outlawed.

Bad324 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 B&t can kiss my ass. Only way id buy from them is if they can get me shit cheaper than normal retailI wish I didn't have family shit the rest if today, I'd call buckeye and go out there if they did. I can justify $20/mag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Now's not the time to buy anything. Wacko prices. I think he's about $300 high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 If it is a documented "imported before 1990" or it has had the "less than 10 foreign parts" conversion, then I'd pay 4-500 for it. Looks like it has the Tapco US conversion kit on it. Under the current circumstances the prices are silly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachG91 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 thanks for the advice Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 For reference, I just paid 290 for an original numbers-matching Chinese Norinco made in 1980 with a picatinny rail mounted scope. I also just paid $150 for all the parts I need to make it 922r compliant for pistol grip, telescoping stock and detachable mags. So, I just got the same gun he's asking $600 for, and I only paid $440. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachG91 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 he seems pretty desperate to sell. he basically instantly dropped the price to 500 after I said I wasnt interested. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 If that is the tapco kit and it's 922r compliant then $500 isn't bad for an already converted sks. If the parts aren't stamped us-made then you'll need receipts showing part origins. Plus you're not having to go through the hassle of the conversion. I'd offer him 475 if it was confirmed compliant.

I'll keep an eye on that when I try mine out at the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye on that when I try mine out at the range.It has to fit extremely tight, as in beating it on with a rubber mallet to work. If not, every time the bolt cycles the cover will jump and be off. These rifles were made by many manufacturers, with variations in design and are famous for loose tolerances. Zach - find out what kind of SKS he has. Russian, Romanian, Chinese norinco, etc. Value depends on who made it. Also, see if he has the original furniture, bayonet etc. you want that stuff, especially if the numbers match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i figure I might offer 450 if he still has it, still unsure, as im a flip flopper when it comes to buying things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Another thought... Once we have an AWB, that means you can't EVER replace a stolen gun. Don't let yours get stolen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
