    After maybe a hundred plus gun shows in a dozen states or more and hundreds of pawn shop stops I don't remember ever seeing one...

    I wouldn't mind snagging it.

    I'm not. It's just that a lot of the sites I frequent don't allow links to active auctions so rather than take the time to read the rules here I just opted to err on the side of caution.

    I'd like to see a close-up of that receiver. The .223 SKS has distinct markings.

    I post live links to auction sites all the time. Especially when I run into good buys on special hard to find Chinese AK variants. I also post live links to auctions showing bubba specials.

    I've never heard of a .223 SKS before. I would like to know how reliable it is. Since it didn't get popular, it may not be as reliable as the 7.62.
