New yugo m59/66a1

[beach bum]

my question is, have any new non surplus M59/66A1's come into Canada?

 

[lone-wolf]

I don't think they're being made anymore?
If I remember, you have a ####load of SKS rifles, do you know if they're currently in production?

If you mean unissued ones??? Then yes.

 

[beach bum]

they were produced until a few years ago as model "Zastava Arms LKP-66"

about 6 years ago one of the importers here in the states got about 500 new non surplus rifles mixed in with a shipment of surplus. about half were sold before ATF realized what they were, the unsold half then had to be cut up and the parts were sold to numrich.

If you mean unissued ones??? Then yes.

I mean NEW not unissued.

Not to my knowledge. Johnone would know best.

I thought those were vapourware, never knew they were actually made.

I've got 4 of them so far and know the whereabouts of about 10 others.

None since the early days of 2002 or 3 If I remember correctly.

I bought a crate from John's personal collection,Johnone wouldnt break up the crate, and was divided up between Pocketfisherman and myself, rest were sold. all were consecutive serial numbers, was a beautiful sight opening that crate, its my coffee table now every time I look at it my back hurts as i had to load it myself into my car, unload it and drag it into my house and almost had it on top of me going down the stairs, what a frikken workout!

what are the serial numbers of the ones you have?

I have seen them for sale recently down in Bellingham, WA. At the Big 5 sporting goods store at the Bellisfair mall. I recall they were selling them for around $400

 

[beach bum]

maybe I have not said it right but these are non military surplus, they were new production sold in Yugoslavia as a sporting rifle called a Zastava Arms LKP-66

there are only about 250 of these in the US.

they are all gone now, I had 5 and pocketfisherman had 5, all I wanted was one and had to go through all that.
