Quoted:
Got a call last night (caller-id came up as unknown), turned out to be from Cabela's asking for me by name. They were tracking down some 'recent' gun sales (in my case bought last January - so this is going back at least 12 months), asking not to fire the weapon or even load a round, and to bring it back to the store as soon as possible for inspection (store is an hours drive each way). She claimed one vendor had 'recently' supplied them with De-militarized guns without them knowing, and attempting to fire it could be 'dangerous'. She said I should also be getting a letter from them in the mail. I've tried google and can't find anything about this anywhere. Anyone else heard anything about this? Sounds hinky |

It sounded hinky to me too, especially when I couldn't find anything on google. I'm waiting for the letter before i do anything.
Gun in question was a Yugo SKS they had on sale a year ago... |

It's goon squad time. If the gun shoots ignore her.
A lot of folks did not clean them off of cosmo and blew them up. It's also Texas, did ja buy two? Maybee they don't have your paper work in order for the gun walker registration. |

Quoted: Quoted: Yugoslav SKS? Yep, you heard anything? Probably executive paranoia regarding the unsprung firing pin and soft commercial primers. A 'problem' inherent to all SKS rifles except for very early (mid 1950 or earlier) Soviet guns that were indeed fitted with a spring. |

Doesn't sound suspicious, just potentially stupid. Or there's a real problem with the gun.

Nope...old lady voice....she got to the part about not shooting the gun and I just said "too late" I took it out the following week and put a 100 rds thru it to check it out. |

At least 1 of their YUGOs were "demilitarized" –– which is to say disabled to be wall hangers.
Whoever did it, did so not by cutting the receiver, but by drilling a hole through the chamber. Ouch. More here: http://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php?topic=98975.msg1195426#msg1195426 Pull your stock off that rifle and inspect it carefully. Frankly, one should do that with ANY milsurp purchase, not to mention checking headspace. |

Idiot. |
