Paying around 200.00 and did pay 20.00 more for the laminated stock model. Please encourage your friend to buy LOTS of ammo and keep buying it before we are like the USAicon and very short of 7.62 X 39.
I'm in Virginia USA, NO shortage of 7.62x39 ammo here. Most gun shows have the commercial “Tula” ammo for around $4.00 a box, cheaper for bulk purchases. It is more fun and almost as cheap playing with my SKS, than it is my 10/22.
