Devon, these rifles have seen active combat so they are in used condition, NRA rated Fair to Good. Please keep in mind these SKS rifles are Military Surplus, not trophy rifles. Stock sets may have dings, dents, trench art or minor cracks, but all will be solid and serviceable just not pretty. Metal parts may have bluing worn off and rough stocks, but they will have good bores and are functioning rifles. Have a great day!
Devon, unfortunately it's luck of the draw. From reading reviews they seem to be in fairly good shape. You could get one in prestine condition or could get one that's rough. My best advice is to thoroughly look the rifle over before doing any paperwork. You always have the option to deny the transfer, if you do the FFL will ship it back to buds and you'll be refunded. Once you transfer it into your name it's yours and buds can't do anything. I'd recommend looking over the reviews by going into the products page and scrolling down to reviews. Hope this helps.
Devon, these have been reported to be mostly shooter grade rifles. I wish Buds would offer a Hand Pick service for which I would gladly pay the fee but, they currently do not so it is quite the random gamble. Cheers and stay safe!
