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?
