$400 and your left .....
Were they not $379 when Marstar had them? Or was it $349?
Key words there are "When they had them..." Just wait till the Russian SKS supply dries up & see what happens to the price!
The M14S supply is just about to run out @ dealers smaller dealers, Marstar is out... I would hazard a guess that within 5 years we will see M14S rifles selling for $750 NOS (new old stock)...

I'm no sure what all the hoopla is over the 59/66. The grenade attachment is clunky and the gas valve is difficult to clean after firing corrosive ammo, hence why many of them leak and reliability suffers.
For the collector/shooter, the M59 is built identically in quality, but is the basic and more reliable SKS-45 design pattern. This is the yugo I would most recommend. (they are also rarer)
Not sure what a nice M59 is selling for these days...? I think I pad in the $400 range for this one a ways back. It had not been fired since it was last gooped in cosmolene and is virtually new.
