[sdsconcrete]

A guy on trade_o has a 1945 russian sks 7.62x55mm.He says its in excellent condition.He wants $200 is that a good buy?

$200 for an excellent Russian would not be a bad price lately.
But first SKS is 7.62X39. It was adopted in 1945 so it is called an SKS-45 but I don't believe any rifles act. made in 45.
7.62X54 is close to what he says cal. is that would prob. make it a SVT-40 which could have been manufactured in 45.
Just make sure what you are buying.

Put it this way, if it really is in excellent condition, I'd probably buy it.

Check it out as a few SKS made their way into Berlin in 1945 with occupying Soviet troops. Talk about some history if it was a true 1945 dated rifle.

saw a 1945 SKS on gunbroker sell for $1500+.

if it really is a 1945 dated SKS then its a prototype or pre production model, the first year of mass production was 1949, i seen a 49 go for $7,000 on GB. that was one with the 90 degree gas tube and spike bayonet. so if it truly is a 45 BUY IT
