484753980 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=484753980) Tula SKS 7.62x39 Russian 1954 Matching cai import 18 $530.00 1954 Tula As-Issued Very Good ГT7055 Pretty nice gun here and a decent price for an as-issued gun, even if it is one of the more common years.
485490694 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=485490694) Russian SKS 1953 - Near Mint! 1 $575.00 1953 Tula Light Refurbished Very Good ЛH796 Good chunk of change for a light refurb with an XXX'd stock. Everything else on it is nice and crisp though.
486322785 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=486322785) Russian Tula SKS 7.62x39 Like New! 1 $599.00 1952 Tula Heavy Refurbished Good BH1863 Double refurb by the looks of the receiver cover. Don't see too many of those.
486499547 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=486499547) STUNNING NIB 1952 RUSSIAN SKS from Tula 39 $1,025.00 1952 Tula Light Refurbished Good ЗH3485 Wow, ridiculous valuation for a refurbed gun like this. I guess that's what a two person bidding war does. I suspect mr b***k A+(1) is having buyers remorse, especially since J***5 NR likely had no intent of winning the auction. I wonder if we see this one pop up again from the same Aspark1 seller?
486817994 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=486817994) Russian SKS 20" 7.62X39 Semi Auto Rifle. Layaway! 5 $465.00 Uncertain Uncertain Bubba Fair ЗИ676 A bit pricey for a bubba like this one.
486872054 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=486872054) Russian SKS 1954 Izhevsk 7.62x39mm 17 $525.00 1954 Izhevsk Heavy Refurbished Good ГД117 Hopefully the winner of this one isn't a member here. I would bet that this one is not a '54 Izhevsk. There is no feature that marks it as one except the receiver cover, and the serial number is not in the '54 Izhevsk pattern at all…
487001413 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=487001413) Tula Russian SKS 7.62X39 Excellent NR 4 $425.00 1954 Tula Heavy Refurbished Good ИE9836 Neat deep diver down (1st GRAU Arsenal, Balakleya) on the right side of the stock.

487525608 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=487525608) Russian Izhevsk SKS 7.62x39 original sling 1 $449.95 Uncertain Tula Heavy Refurbished Fair HM1273 No Virginia, this is not a Izhevsk no matter how much you want it to be. Note the early tall RSB and tall receiver. Just because it has XYZ receiver cover, doesn't make the gun XYZ.
487537448 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=487537448) Soviet Russian SKS 1953R, Laminate Stock, 7.62x39 11 $445.00 1953 Tula Light Refurbished Good ME4086 Pretty decent light refurb here. Nice bright carrier and clean bluing all over.

That's impressive for a plain Jane gun like this with a poor presentation (not horsetrash, just not as good as it should be for 5+ Benjamins.

488759233 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=488759233) Russian Tula SKS 7.62x39 9 $360.00 1954 Tula Bubba Good Uncertain I know it's not a great gun, but these auction photos are absolutely terrible!!!
488875610 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=488875610) Russian SKS 45 Tula Matching EXC No Reserve 1954 Tula made exc condition all matching pre AK47 27 $781.00 1954 Tula Light Refurbished Very Good ИM6884 This gun has been sanded, no doubt about it. The right side cartouche is nearly gone and the seller included great photos for everything….except the stock S/N and cartouche. That's a shame. I wonder if the buyer is having any buyer's remorse right now.

489972135 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=489972135) RUSSIAN SKS GREAT CONDITION *NR* 2 $405.00 Uncertain Uncertain Uncertain Good Uncertain Pretty poor photospread to drop 4 Benjamins on a rifle with so many unknowns. Has to be at least a light refurb as the laminate handguard and hardwood stock don't come close to matching.
490128897 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=490128897) Russian SKS matching numbers 1954 bayonet Tula 3 $589.00 1954 Tula Light Refurbished Good BЛ6545 I like this gun more than some of the others on this list.
