I have a Russian SKS from the mid 50s, in excellent condition.  It is chambered in 7.62x39, and is a reliable and accurate shooter.  The trigger is finely polished and massaged for incredible feel.  It comes with a Tech Sight rear aperture sight and narrow front sight post for a great sight picture, reminiscent of the M1 Garand.  The stock is original, in excellent shape, and it still has the original bayonet and tool kit!  It was my first rifle (bought new in the cosmoline), and I dearly love shooting it, but it's time for a change.  Price is firm.
