It’s cheap and it’s fun at a distance. I agree every Canadian should own an sks but keep it original.

Most of the earlier pattern (WWI) guns, as this one, are in well used surplus condition and/or have been "sporterized" for hunting, with the wood removed or cut down and such. This one is in its original military configuration and $1500 is an easy call, possibly $2K. Original military configuration Lee Enfields are worth money these days. If the original barrel was not cut down and still has the original front sight assembly with only the wood hand guards removed/missing and the forearm cut back, these are easily restorable simply by replacing the wood. Buy for $350 or so, resell for $1500 to a collector.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-23815821842863343422023-04-02T15:01:55.075-07:002023-04-02T15:01:55.075-07:00There was one that was used in an accidental shoot...There was one that was used in an accidental shooting in Prince George.

The last 3 boxes I saw on a shelf I bought them without thinking twice. As for the rifles though, I have a feeling there are a lot of those still out there.<br /><br />When I was a kid in Ft. Mac in the early 70's, in the fall the hardware store would sell surplus "sporterized" Lee Enfield's and two boxes of shells for $19.95. Now a lot of those have probably been turned in over the years since then but those rifles now bring $500 and up depending on model and how heavily sporterized they were. In urban area's not so much maybe, but I'll bet a lot of them are in the back of a farmhouse closet or greased up in the rafters of the barn. It's an awesome rifle, part of our heritage, and the cartridge was invented long before the American .30-06, in fact it was originally a black powder cartridge, one of the very few to successfully make that transition after the development of modern smokeless powder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-2233090048874301922023-04-01T18:10:50.729-07:002023-04-01T18:10:50.729-07:00The .303 is the British version of the American .3...The .303 is the British version of the American .30-06.
