How is the milsurp market these days?

I'm pretty sure that's a aftermarket stock, I remember that the folding stocks had to be pinned at one point. I did have a SKS that had a factory plastic stock, but it was set up to take AK mags. But yes, if it's a military rifle, it needs to be all original as possible.

I might be wrong but I think most of the Chinese SKS’s are new manufacture for export by Norinco and not milsurps.

Most are not, with the exception of the type 56 carbine. Those were made on Russian tooling for the Chinese army. See 2nd and 3rd from left with blade type bayonet.

Unfortunately it's an old pic and I sold off my quintriplicates and quadruplicates since then It's been 3-4 years since I have shot the ones I have left, but maybe I'll haul some out to the next CMP trip.

Took the old Moist Nugget out for some sun today.

It actually has a stock that isn't complete crap. A little bit of tung oil and bronze wool really brought a crusty old Chinese T53 back to life.

What are Russian SKS'S going for these days? It's getting hard to find a Chinese SKS that hasn't been Bubba Gumped, and ruined for that matter.

Run of the mill production probably in the 5-600 range all day.

I am soaking my 403K SA 1945 Garand Barrel in Hoppes tonight. This will be the third time this month. She is getting very shiny.
