[ARCHIVED THREAD] - CA Yugo SKS situation

Posted: 12/10/2001 2:26:05 PM EDT

Today I received e-mail from Interordnance and Century regarding purchasing Yugo SKS's in CA with the C&R. Interordnance says they are waiting for a letter from the CA DOJ stating they are legal to sell here (knowing Lockyer and his ilk they will ignore the letter, resulting in a de facto ban). My sales rep at Century says he doesn't know what the situation is but will find out and contact me.

I get the feeling I better not hold my breath.

Caliban law recognizes the federal C&R list for long guns (as defined in Section 178.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations). If it's a federal C&R and not a Cali-banned "Assault Weapon" you should be good to go.

anyone know how much these yugo sks's are going for? and are they the same design as other nations's sks's? (not like a russian draganov and a romainan dragonav)

the yugo samozaryadnya karabin siminova is very unlike any other sks in several attributes. it features a grenade launching sight and gas system cutoff valve, spigot type grenade launcher and a teakwood stock. there are various and sundry changes made in machining patterns and casting form.

these are a siminov design, not a dragunov...or the romanian fpk rifle, which is a kalashnikov based firearm.

the yugos sell for $350 on gunshow tables and are well worth that figure. a good used russian laminated sks will set you back that much.

I would like one also.

My first SKS, a milled chinese, was something like $69 at Turners.

Keep us posted. I'd like one as well.

since the gun is not detachable mag it doesnt fall under the BS23 criteria for AW, but the grenade launcher in general is probably illegal, which would keep the gun out of the state.
the M1 Garand grenade launcher ALONE is illegal to own in kalif.

is there anyway to remove the SKS grenade launcher?
which would make the gun legal for importation past the Caliban check point

J&G Sales started selling them and they say they're good for Cali.

I might get one, but I want a Like New condition one. I guess the LN condition ones are only being sold by Century or something. They won't send it to CA unless the DOJ approves of them.
