Russian SKS

mscinderglo
I just got an SKS (to sell from an estate) and don't know much about
them.
It is totally all matching numbers 7807, side reciever marks CCCP 05768, immaculate condition. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
thx

    I recently picked up a Russian SKS from the 50's. Looks unfired and I was thinking of keeping it this way but saw a reply on the topic of a Yugo SKS

    Should I keep this like new or shoot it? I have a Norinco preban that I do shoot. The Russian is preban as well.

    The "black bolt" SKS's have been arsenal refinished. A SKS that has a polished bolt and a blued finish would be more valuable to a collector.

    Great care has to be exercised in this matter though as the black finish on the arsenal reworked SKS's, was more like a paint then a black oxide refinish. It is possible to remove it and polish the bolt to make it appear original. The arsenal refinished SKS's, usually are marked with a small square box marking with a "x" in it on top of the bolt cover to denote being reworked though.
