Albanian SKS Rifle – 1971 – 7.62x39mm

Product Description

We have a shipment of rare Albanian SKS rifles! Rifles purchased from this listing will all be from 1971. All SKS’s have been function tested before shipment, and most have a nice shiny bore! Generally, the outside of the rifles are rough with nice internals and will make great shooters. We have individually photographed and listed a selection of rifles to choose from! Most guns will have cosmoline and grime and will need a thorough cleaning before firing. We recommend having a gunsmith inspect all surplus firearms.

These rifles are C&R eligible.
