SSG 82 sniper rifle.........

I picked up one of these about 10 years ago and I can't find it in any of my price books. When I ordered it, I was told they only imported about 600. It was used on the Berlin wall by the Russians. It is 5.56x39 I think. It has a plastic stock and a scope. It is in unfired condition. Any idea on value. A guy at a gun shw offered me 1,000. He said that's what they were getting. Thanks, Rog

Hi M1,

Good luck

Thank you for your time. I'm not looking to sell it right now, but how come I can't find it in any price books? Is it that rare? How come if it is a sniper rifle, it has such a small cal. bullet? Rog

I have never heard of one with a plastic stock.

Mine is a blond wood stock and has a letter signed by Major John Plaster (wrote The Ultimate Sniper book) that this rifle came from is personal collection.

For those that have one of these - how does yours shoot?

I ahve heard that the laquer on the cases gets sticky after firing a few rounds when the chamber heats up a bit and makes extraction problematic. I have not fired mine enough to experience this.
