Just turned down a norinco sks for $300 because its bayonet lug was sheared off and it was missing the fixed magazine. Did i fuc/k/ up?
No, you fucked up by not buying one when they were cheap.
>>28356247
No you did good walking away
Thanks guys.
>>28356247
You did good.
Maybe next time they decide to butcher a rifle, they'll think back and remember that it's worth less afterwards.
>no fixed mag
Kinda shitty
>no bayo lug
Big fucking deal it's literally next to worthless unless you're a "collector".
Three hundo is still too much for a fucking SKS tho
>OPs with anime

One time I was at a fun show, and the only SKS that wasn't fucked up in some way was $700 dollars.
That sickened me, and I'm literally Jewish.
Op.
I picked one up at j&g. Started a cosmoline removal thread, id delete it, but i dont have the cookie.
$378 after shipping $398 after ffl transfer. Im ok with this. Got the hand select option.
>>28358696
Id use it if i needed to, lol. Plus, why wouldnt i get one with a bayonet?
>>28358889
having a bayonet on hand > not having a bayonet any day ever
while we're all here talking about sks
best place/way to buy a bayonet, cleaning rod, and cleaning kit for an unrefurbished 1953 russian sks missing those items?
>>28358889
I could see you using it for home defense. However there is no reason you'd use an SKS for home defense and when there are more viable options. There's no real reason to have one. However I'm not calling you a idiot for wanting it. If you want it get it. "Need" doesn't apply here. But anybody saying that it's been butchered probably posts "nugget" and "rifle is fine" memes.
>>28358745
its not anime you stupid fuck
>>28358931
Having a bayonet = having knife of equal size at your hip
>>28358978
I can agree with that.
Except it does seem disrespectful to the rifle.... even if its not a person.
>>28358997
>implying you will have enough time to put knife on hip when you grab SKS and go innawoods
plus, rifle+bayonet=long range knife aka spear
knife on hip=shitty knife with limited range
>>28358968
Thats a tall order anon.
From what i gather the bayonet in particular is pretty hard to find.
>>28358978
>There's no real reason to have one.
>>28359172
well i just searched ebay and some came up.
is that a legit way to go about it?
>>28359294
It might not be an exact match for your 53 but ya, so long as your not trying to be too specific.
>>28359421
well according to yooperj website, 1952+ they used the "angled ears" collars for the bayonet adapter, and that is exactly what this syrupman is selling.
supposedly it's a real russian one too, which i'm prone to believe because apparently there are tons of sks's in syrupland. $60+s&h, i think imma pull the trigger when i get home from work.
looks like i can get the cleaning rod and cleaning kit from amazon, and then i'll be set. noice
>>28359263
Really. There are better rifles for same price. However like I said before, I don't greatly give a fuck about "need". You should get a goddamn tank if you so desire
>>28359548
>There are better rifles for same price.
Could you give me some examples, friendo?
>>28358830
You ain't seen shit kid.
I once saw a beat to shit type 56 with a missing bayonet priced at $950
>>28356247
I don't know why but I can't stop staring at this image
>>28358861
I think I got the same one for Christmas bra
I didn't get hand select tho, cause my dad bought it for me
>mfw haven't started removing cosmoline yet
Eh, in this market you could've unfucked it for $50 (fixed mag) and made out alright. I think the entire aesthetic of the SKS is ruined without a bayo, but if I got an amazing deal I'd still buy one without.
>>28358968
Oh my god
>at a fun show last year
>walk in not meaning to buy anything
>something catches my eye
>a dark cherry wood stock of an SKS
>Well that's pretty
>go look at it
>at parts matching, bayonet on, beautiful stock, also was Russian (don't remember what year)
>500 dollars
>Well ok that's not horrible cause I have a boner for it
>Dad comes over
>there's an AK next to it
>also 500
>"are you seriously thinking of getting the SKS over the ak? Are you eating retard sandwiches? Get the ak you moron"
>Dad talks me into getting ak
>mfw I remember that SKS though
It was the one that got away....
>>28360717
sounds like your dad was the one eating the retard sandwiches that day
>>28360717
I never asked to feel these feels.
>>28360705
Thats pretty much how i seen it.
Except for an extra $30 i got one with both. Not including the hand select , shipping and transfer fees.
I was really hoping to avoid all that.
>>28356247
no bayonet lug isnt a deal breaker, but when it was removed it is. I've also never had luck with any sks with detachable mags. My sample size isn't huge, but of the 5 different sks's I've fucked with 2 had duckbill mags and they worked like shit
>>28360870
I don't understand the sks love honestly.
>>28360965
Simple shit. Cheap to shoot. Relatively cheap, especially since its a solid rifle.
>>28360965
i dont understand how you cant
>>28360717
You got a significantly more fun and functional gun for the same price. Your dad did good.
>>28360991
And interesting from a historical perspective; all SKS' other than Norinco commercials are legit Military weapons. Also, tipping bolts.
>>28360965
They're neat, versatile guns which are pretty affordable. They used to be obscenely cheap.
