Decades ago, an Army friend offered to sell me the SKS he brought back from Vietnam. I declined because of no interest at the time, but now mildly regret, especially as the price was exceedingly low, though I don’t remember it.
Perhaps I’ll find a gun show to see if either is available.
Got mine for all of $75. Rock & roll, baby! Chinese made and marked. Fun on a bun!
Meant to say, probably not cheap these days, but what is? Nothingburgers...
