New Arrival: Yugo M59/66 SKS, Missing Bayonet & Grenade Launcher

I bought a yugo years ago, made in 1983 my birth year lol and it's never been fired. cleaned it of cosmoline and it happily sits in the gun room and I play with it randomly. I abuse my chicom issue sks when i want to plink away
 
I shot one that was as issued, the gas shut off was maybe worn so it admitted just enough gas to reliably operate the action this was in the Summer. Quite accurate and pleasant to shoot, it dumped the brass maybe a foot to the side, much of the time the brass just had enough energy to roll off the top of the bolt carrier. It had similar balance to an M1 rifle.

I might have missed it, but they aren't exactly marketing these as unmolested collectables.

The bayonet is one of the more useless features on an SKS and just adds weight to the muzzle end of an already front end unbalanced rifle. I carried around a bayonet for 24 years and only affixed it to my rifle for parades :) Add to that a grenade launcher adaptor for what exactly? These are just useless tacticool features at the end of the day.

It's still one of the better manufactured SKS out there. Non-chrome lined bore is a thing, but in reality, I'm cleaning my Chicom SKS after firing corrosive regardless, so there's that.

The only issue is price... But right now, with the SKS being one of the last semi-auto's standing, the prices are all over the map for everything, not just these.

Good on them for at least continuing to bring in semi-auto inventory in this political climate.

The Sks bayonet works well as a makeshift mono pod while shooting prone
