I'm a newbie and I think I came across a good deal...I bought 2 russian SKS... Both have all matching numbers with the strap, bayonet and cleaning rods... Both are stamped with Swan, VT. Made in russia... One has a silver bolt cover WITHOUT a star stamp on top but had a small star on the left side of the bolt cover, Numbers are CCCP57742, T.O.4331...the other has the black cover with the star stamp arrow inside with 1953r under it, numbers are CCCP49270, N.O. 3119... I bought then both and 39 boxes of ammo for $ 675... I will post pics later...I'm still on the road... I can email pics if it would help but can't figure out how to post from phone...What's the value differences...which one is with more
