Talked to a guy today that was selling ammo on craigslist but wording it so it didn't sound like ammo unless
you were familiar with it. He also has a 1954 Tula SKS and around 2300 rounds of ammo for it for $1400 or $1600 as
I didn't write it down. Probably a decent price but I don't need another one, he said "it's a real Russian one" as if that
will make it shoot better than my two Chinese SKSs. It might mean more to a serious collector, but we know that's not me.
Haven't talked guns to anyone for a long time and it was kind of fun discussing the guns and ammo we both have.

1954 Tula SKS.
Peace is that brief, quiet moment in history.......... when everybody stands around reloading.
Re: 1954 Tula SKS.
It just so happens I have a 1954r dated Russian. I keep a tag on all my collection and write what I paid for them on the tag, along with the year I bought it, just so I won't otherwise totally forget. This one came with the sling. I bought it at a gun shop that no longer exists.

Re: 1954 Tula SKS.
I only have 2 SKS, both Chinese arsenal 26, a 1961 with blade bayo and a 1966 paratrooper carbine with a spike bayo.
Just checked Gunbroker and the Chinese are going for $500 to $1100 depending on condition. .....
