mine was pretty rough all numbers matching at least. Stock has a big gouge in it, but I guess it could be worse. Major pitting in bayonet and didn’t have any of cleaning kit in stock. Bluing is almost all gone. But it cycles and seems to be accurate enough.

I still believe the sks is one of the best guns ever made

came heavily packed in cosmolene. It showed a lot of use and stock was in poor condition

Took a whole day to clean but rifle has most of its bluing. Piston was bent so I purchased another one. Stock has a lot of battle wounds but should be OK. Stock had so ones name carved into it. It was a great value and I'm glade I purchased it.

Took an entire day to clean the cosmoline off this rifle. Matching numbers. Functions flawlessly with the 200 rounds I put through it. Get a sight tool to adjust the sights. I am extremely happy with this purchase. Glad to have an SKS back in my collection.

As a Vietnam Vet, I had to have the rifle that the boys often faced off, especially the irregulars. Finally, Buds got some that were the right price. These are original, packed with cosmoline. Plenty of online examples exist of how to clean that up so the rifle is ready to shoot. Designed by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov in 1945, it was replaced by the Kalashnikov AK-47, but plenty were in use worldwide when I was in the Army 1972-1978. I worked with a lot of fellows who were on the receiving end of the 7.62x39mm round and lived to tell the story -- it's no joke. Need a part of history or a perfectly functional semi-automatic, ballistic equivalent to the .30-30 Win? Then get one.

Bought this as a project for me and youngest son. Came as expected with LOTs of cosmoline. These are becoming scarce and pricey. Thanks again buds!

I shot one of these many years ago and I remember being impressed with the low recoil and accuracy. When it came coated in cosmoline, it gave me the chance to examine the workings in detail. BTW, I used a hand-held steam cleaner to melt off the cosmoline--worked great! Now, with a sling and 240 rounds of 7.62x39 in stripper clips, I have a great Texas hog/deer/zombie rifle that goes "Bang!" every time I pull the trigger. I LOVE THIS RIFLE!!!!

heavily covered in cosmoline. Take how you want didn’t bother me, mine was missing piston spring, easy cheap fix. But was missing that’s why 4 stars. Works like a charm after cleaning all the cosmoline and getting the spring.

When I finally removed all the grease, an awesome sks magically appeared.

An all around beautiful gun. Cleaning all the cosmoline was a fun process. And totally worth the time spent. No crack on stock. Minimal rust. All around happy with my purchase

This was a special Christmas present to "myself " !!!Best present I ever bought for myself. Great price, and was exceptionally in pristine condition. Well worth the "self"investment. I have to say I have never in the many years buying from Bud's ever having any issues. I will always give Bud's 5*'s. Fastest shipper in the west lol Pop's from, ORLANDO

Not numbers matching but cleaned up well (With a lot of work) Shoots well.

Rough. Really rough. Beat up. My Mosin came in much better condition. But you get what you get with these old guns. All cleaned up though, not a single issue yet with hundreds of rounds through. And surprisingly very accurate.

Very Good SKS! Great bluing, and matching numbers... Found some very small but deep rust spots under the stock, where wet dirt had been sealed in by cosmoline... but other that that, it has an excellent chrome lined bore, and is a very, very slick action. Used Mineral spirits and boiling water to clean the cosmoline off, which works awesome! Just oil parts as they come out of the water/ spirits mix to prevent flash rust. Stock was in pretty good shape, albeit too short for me.....like 3" too short.... A Boyd's laminate stock was the ticket to solve the length of pull issue. I would buy again in a heartbeat! thanks Bud!!

five star! Arrived in great shape, can’t wait to try it at the range! A+

I purchased an Sks rifle. It was exactly what I wanted. It took some effort to remove the cosmoline and finish the furniture (wood), but that should be expected. There were minor dings in the wood but the metal was in great shape. The barrel was perfect. At the range, the rifle was spot on! Completely satisfied.
