Chinese made SKS rifles were put out by the zillions for commercial sale and millions of them were imported into the USA before importation of Chinese made semi-autos was banned. These just don't have much collectors value.
Sequential (or other fancy) serials don't hurt, but I don't think realistically this will do much for the value.
In this market, excellent condition Chinese SKS with original furniture, maybe $350, give or take a bit. You can double that for your two.
Edit:
Responding to below, its assumed that the above listed guns are ordinary SKS rifles, or the poster would have said otherwise.
The SKS-D variants that AK mags are relatively scarce and highly desirable. Those are probably worth about $650 (!) each right now. The 16 inch barrel "paratrooper" commercial guns are more common, but also more desirable than the standard models as "shooters" and run about $425 each.
Incidentally 10 years ago, Yugo SKS rifles could still be had in cosmoline for as little as $125! Its funny, I just pulled up a post from a different gun board from ten years ago where one poster opined that Yugo SKS rifles would never exceed $250 value "in our lifetimes".
Obviously, that was wrong, and in fact, SKS rifles have been amongst the fastest appreciating of any of the military surplus guns (roughly 300% value increase in ten years) because of a number of factors beyond the scope of this post.0 -
Thanks Beantown...
700 sound like a good baseline for two.0 -
I concur,,at 700. 0 -
You don't mention what kind of Norinco SKS'es you have. Some have a bit more value than others...for example, the short barreled Para models sell for a bit more, and the detachable mag "Sporter" sell for even more. So, it depends, but if they are just runofthemill SKS'es, $700 with box sounds like a good starting point IMO. 0
