   I've decided I'm in the market for an SKS - any thoughts   
   here?   
      
   Classic Firearms tempted me when they showed the big   
   batch of Chi Com units that have been packed in Cosmoline   
   for 20+ years! I watched the video where they tore one   
   down and cleaned it and reassembled it. I loved the    
   "character marks" on the stocks and such!!!   
      
   Anyway, I'd like to get one, but locally when they are   
   sold they go for abour $400. That's about what I can   
   get one for from Classic, after paying shipping, a local   
   FFL to handle it, tax and the $10 TICS fee. If I'm going   
   to pay that, I'd rather have one no one has done anything   
   with or to for 20+ years! :-)   
      
   I was checking Acadamy and Gander and other site for deals   
   on ammo and Gander had a 'used guns' section, so I clicked   
   on it. SKS - Cosmoline - 20+ years - all that, basically   
   the same thing - $342, plus a $15 'shipping charge' to the   
   local store. No FFL transfer fee, just tax and the $10   
   TICS (Tennessee Instant Check System) fee.    
      
   Hmm... I really wanted to click it and purchase, but   
   I didn't... yet... :-) We are in Indy visiting for a few    
   days, so I thought no need in it just sitting at the local    
   store, and I might just get lucky and find something    
   somewhere. :-)   
      
   So - any thoughts?
