Here a trick, it work good, unwrap the rifle from the brown paper, take clear plastic (Saran wrap) and wrap it tight, just leave a little opening at the muzzle, put muzzle down in a carbadge can , put in direct sunlight on a warm day, wait a couple hours, after 90% of the cosmo will have drain at the muzzle.

Thanks for reminding me of this trick caramel

Grenade launcher for that intense day at the range

Rubber buttstock pad for her pleasure.

Quality essentially. They Yugo SKS is as much better than a Russian SKS as a Russian is better than a Norinco.....
It's like comparing Mossberg patriot rifle and a similar calibre rifle make by Sako...

Ok so quality is better? I've never held one, so I gotta ask what quality wise is better? Better steel, better stock, better barrel, bluing? I personally find it hard to believe that it's that much better than a bullet proof Russian, that it could justify the price difference. Or is it the rarity more than the quality that makes the price so high? Like I said I've never held or seen one in person, I'm just wandering why so much $

Rarity is the first reason. A Russian all matching , non refurbed in US is way more expensive than Yugo in the same condition.

^^^^ this, a new sks with all the gear on it to fire grenades! Even though it seems like a lot, this is the first batch to come to Canada in 6 years! Cool factor is way up there too!
 
The amount of cosmoline omg. 2 hours to clean her up, all numbers matching and looks un issued, but dented steel on gas tube the part that holds the wood on. Need dummy grenades and blanks. A sling would have been nice for the price. Just not sure how ill finish the stock thinking linseed oil
 
I was going to leave it boxed, but figured I should inspect it

Mine's a mixed bag.

Outer magazine shell has discouloration, possibly from heat. The mag is pinned sloppily such that the follower will not pivot - mag won't feed unless I can free it.

And the trigger group is either completely packed with cemented cosmoline such that a few hours soak in spirits won't free it, or it has issues, as the hammer will not release.

Might need to send this one back

My hammer would only release when it is fully assembled. New to sks' so not sure if this is 1) typical 2) typical of yugos 3) something is wrong
 
Could be. It needs a bit of pressure on it before the sear will slip, and the disconnector plays a role. I've not used or torn down an SKS in years, so some of the details are hazy

Some time with a needle file and the sloppy weld is mostly cleared off, I think the mag will function. Definitely a refurb, as there are non-matching electropencil parts, like the magwell, firing pin, piston rod...

The blue has turned plum in places, like the receiver.

So long as the trigger group functions once I have enough grease off to reassemble the rifle, I'm sure it'll be fine.

50,### serial number, which indicates about a 1967 gun from what I understand
