I jus purchased a nearly new, like maybe 5 rounds thru it, Norinco paratrooper. All matching, all original, beautiful. Some guy wants to trade a beautiful Savage 24c, 22lr/20 gauge for it. These are both guns that I have spent a lot of time looking for....argh! Personal experience, opinions please. Thanks.

Took me a long time to find my Norinco paratrooper mdl. I wouldn't trade it for that. Not sure on the availability of that particular Savage but they are not importing any more Chinese guns at all.

The 24 series are no longer in production and they made very few 24c's. But yes they are now making a Savage 42. So far just in 22lr/.410 but more to come I'm sure. One thing I like about the potential value of the sks is in case a detach mag ban comes into play down the road. A ten round fixed mag rifle firing the 7.62x39 would get very popular I'd guess.

 

 

Edit/

The Norinco is the nicest sks I've set eyes on. Coupled with the 16 inch barrel, wow! Just bad timing with the other coming available I guess. I almost traded a 1979 Marlin 39A for a 24c years ago, but, kept the 39A to give to my brother for a birthday gift.

The Savage 24c goes from 350-550 depending on condition and caliber. This one is on the 500+ spectrum. The sks does not take AK mags, which I like. I love the 10 round fixed mag. The only thing I plan on changing is putting on tech sights and looking for a fixed 20 round mag.

I know someone who got very near his asking price of $1000 for his paratrooper, just a few days ago.

 

Do do it.

Where the hell was he? I love mine and I'd bet it's nicer than his was. But for 1000 bucks they can have it and a fraction of my soul.

Do not do it.

Found out tonight the rifle came with a case of ammo. That makes more since now.

 

I was scratching my head too.

You guys are smart. I did just as you all advised and told him I couldn't do it. I also called him a racist just cause it seems the thing to do these days.

 

 Did you make sure and remind him it was all Bush's fault?  haha.gif
