The Yugoslavian SKS

Took a couple of quick pics, mainly to show off the wood. Very nice elm.

I'll take some better ones when I get to the range in a week or so. And do a full review.

It does look great! That stock is beautiful. All the special stuff around the front end makes me.......? How do you know it was built in 1976?

Cool! Thanks! I see the sights are phosphorous and not tritium. (If that data is correct.)

Makes you what?

It's about the best info I have found on dating the M59/66. Whether it is 100% correct you can't be sure, but something to go by anyway.

 

[6MT]

Well, thanks for that. I've registered there. Looks like a cool site.

Makes me.......curious, jealous, envious, want one for myself? Take your pick, I can't identify the emotion.

Can you get these in Canada? Is the flip up grenade launcher sight legal to have? Info on this rifle please!

Not sure why people have these flat out assumptions that Canadas firearm laws are carbon copies of foreign legislation.

I have to do this all sober.

I suppose people get their firearms edumucations from various opinions they see on you toob & various & other sundry sources. For example, some poor sod might view a you toob vid from a channel originating in Cali foonia about butchering a 59/66 to make it cali foonia legal, then immediately assume they have to butcher a 59/66 as they again assume the grenade launcher and sight are illegal here, just like in Cali-foonia.

In case you think I am being too picky on the op (old post), at one point, I was a 20 something kid who thought he knew it all, but din't know anything. I hope he has all the toys he wants.
