I wouldn't even mind if I could get my hands on a cheap old SKS with no bluing and bad furniture so I could give it the full Tapco treatment. A man has to work on a budget, ya know.

Classic Arms has Chinese ones for $300. That's about as cheap as they get.

Sadly gone are the days when you could pick up an SKS for $69 and a thousand rounds of steel core for $89.

Not that cheap, but one with a cracked stock is $40 off:

J G Sales has some ChiCom Type 46 on sale right now for less than $300.
