Russian SKS value?

[T. May]

Does anybody know what a very good to excellent condition Russian SKS goes for these days?
It is a 1951 Tula that has been forced matched at the arsenal. All numbers on the rifle match except for the stock, which has been forced matched from the arsenal. Thanks.

$450

Sold one last year $450 but wouldn't take less than $500 for the ones I have left! They are laminated stock models.

you'll find alot of disagreement on this one. for russian i honestly value them just about the same as all the rest, maybe a tick more towards 400 but that would be the absolute highest in my opinion. I can still find Russians for 300-350 every once in ahwile

Is it blued or that "ugly as crap I don't want it" black paint?

Russians can have some of the nicest wood ever. They were $600 last year. Don't know why the value would go down this year, but that seems to be the way a lot of milsurp guns are looking. I wouldn't sell anything for less than the price's 'were'.

I've never seem a laminated stock on a SKS. Not common is it?

Laminated stocks are not common and are generally considered re arsenal work.
