Long Barrel Yugo M59 Prototype

[Loose-Cannon]

The serial number of this Carbine is 080. The rifle is still loaded with thick redish brown cosmo and has the cleaning kit in the butt. Thought I would share a rare gun (even in the US) that you may not have seen before. Enjoy.

Notes*

No 1TRZ on stock
#80 is stamped at the rear of the receiver.
Stamped matching receiver, bolt, stock, and carrier
The fire control group is EP matching only with no previous #s etc
The cover, mag, and gastube are completely void of any EPs or serials.

Interesting, that's the average length of the M59/66 series but without the grenade launcher gizmo. Looks like an inexpensive version of the above mentioned.

Noticed the 17" bayo right away.

 

[Loose-Cannon]

Incorrect. These are the first 100 Yugos ever made.

The bayo is the same length as the M59.... Not the 59/66. Even the stock was made to accommodate the shift forward of the attaching point.

In addition.... Numbers 4, 7, and 9 were found having a barrel 2" longer then the standard M59. Numbers 12 through 92 are recorded being 1.75" longer.
