Early SKS rifles have a charm that later ones lack, and this one comes with several rare extras. The seller says it is an early-manufacture rifle with matching serial numbers and a desirable threaded barrel that is not pinned. The finish is black with a folding stock, and the barrel measures 20 inches.

The accessories make it stand out. It has an attached muzzle brake and a long spike bayonet. A second top cover is mounted with an early SKS scope. The seller also includes a rare 20-round Red Star fixed magazine, which the seller says often sells for more than 100 dollars by itself. It is a busy package, so look closely at the photos.

Rifles like this appeal to collectors who care about the details. Matching numbers prove the original parts stayed together, and an unpinned threaded barrel opens options for muzzle devices. Look over the photos for the exact condition of each accessory.

Check the bore, the gas system, and the action when it arrives. The SKS is a simple rifle, and most problems are easy to find with a careful look. It is sold as described, in used condition. The rifle ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
