Found this little gem yesterday by accident. It spoke to me saying it was a good deal. 4 benjamins and it left we me. Was that a fair price?

All numbers matching. Has a 4 inside triangle on the stock. A 3 on bottom of stock near the butt plate and even more numbers in the wood where the action sits. Also has 3 stamped on bottom of trigger group near the take down button
If the French tickler speaks to me it says late 70's or maybe 1980 Chinese, 22-25M SN. All matching 400$ is a good price today.
The bayonet speaks to me too and says; put me rightside up :P :))

Nice pickup at the price for certain. thumb1
Based on the photo and your description of the stock it’s a year 23-24 /26\. It could also be an M21 0296. Those are the only type 56’s with originally installed French ticklers.
Here are a few more photos… Did find the serial number elctro penciled on gas tube, piston and rear sight ladder, that was a cool find!

That would have been a good price for a 23-24th year Jianshe 3 years ago. Today it’s an excellent price thumb1
Looks good
Muy Bueno Amigo! Very nice.
Agree with all of the above, great price.
Great score for $400! thumb1. I've been hitting many shows in the last few years, everything that looks even close to that shape is $6-700 easy! Nice job!
Very nice catch at $400 , congratulations clap1

I think you did great! This past month and a half, I've sold 12-15 firearms. I have 4 of this type /
26\ SKS with the "Tickler" Upper Hand Guard. I sold one of those by laying it on the table at a gun show and pricing it at $700.00. The rifle went quick with no haggling needed, at the full 700.
I'd sold 3 YUGO M59/66 SKS, still new, in grease. All went for $700-$800, depending on the exact rifle. These went fast. One was a Cherry's import.
So, you picking that up for $400.00 is a steal, or at the very least, a great investment for a future flip of hopefully 100% return. And they're excellent rifles to keep and shoot, too!
