For $75.00, you really can't go wrong.  The group was fired offhand at 100 feet.  I was function testing it, not testing for accuracy.  The ammunition was
Winchester white box.  I've had three of these rifles - this one's a keeper.  The second hole from the left is two shots.

016 factory code, nimbers matching excellent condition. I believe early to mid 70's production.


My first SKS was a Yugo that was so disappointing I threw it into the gun safe and bought a chinese model. Yugo has what appears to be Cosmo in places and a really crappy stock which led me to buy this finer example of an SKS.

Up next an AK 47 (prolly Yugo with an under-folding stock)
Rofl I hate the SKS made in Yugoslavia but the Yugo Ak I want appears to be better then the junk wasr's they are selling at the local gun shops!

It's a surplus gun, they all have cosmoline on/in them.  You have to clean it up.  My Yugo was slathered in cosmo, but cleaned up nicely.  There was a nice rifle under all that stuff.

My AR is the only rifle I know on those terms!!!!

But my Yugo while having all numbers matching, is just worn and the stock has a hairline crack in it, Personally I would rather leave it in its current state then modify any "Mil Surp" rifle.

I love military styled rifles for the fel of them. But when it would require more time than I have to spare at the moment It will be placed on the back burner. Too many active projects as it is, working on my car, rebuilding my R/C truck etc.

I just dont want it to be a started project that never gets finished!

I realize that but all I wanted was a cheap range rifle, was gonna bubba it but realized it was not worth it, The cosmo in it requires me to take apart the bolt assembly and I jst dont want to get to know a rifle on those terms.

I personally loved cleaning the cosmo out of my yugo, I thought it was a blast getting to know how the whole rifle worked.

Hello, this is my first post here.  My first SKS too.  I have no idea what it is.  Here are some pics.  Previous owner put the stock on but included the original wood with it.  $300 is what I paid.  Supposedly 1-2 box's put through it.  Sorry, some of the pics are a bit blurry.

Here's a picture of my Chinese with the Tapco stock. As much as I like it, I still returned it to original condition. The rifle was a gift from my wife. I added the fixed mag. The original was missing and it had a thirty round detachable mag when I got it. I ordered a replacement bolt cover as it came to me with the scope mount. The sling came from Apex and it suits the setup nicely but I have replaced it with a correct Chinese sling. The muzzle brake is by NC Star. I modified the bayonet to work in conjunction with the brake. I'll update the picture soon.

And here are my newly aquired "Twins".
They are mint, never been fired, all numbers matching and were covered in cosmoline! I got them in trade for my WASR AK.

I like it too. My AK came with a thumbhole stock, but it's not so comfortable.

Nice SKS.

Wow.  Lots of people reporting the SKS as their first gun!

My SKS was the first gun that I bought.  Had to get all the cosmo out, clean up the metal parts, clean up, iron out, and finish the stock.   Shoots good enough now.  Lots of fun.  Learned a whole lot about how guns function by having to do all of this to it before firing, that I'd reccomend this to anyone instead of buying a new gun first.    Just a heavy Yugo that I picked up for $200.

Hey guys!  I figured I'd post a pic in here as well.  Those of you over at Survivor's have already seen it.

This "Bubba" job of a Yugo is what I did to pass the time waiting for my AR-15 Kit.

I know it has been a while since you posted this, but any info on the stock?  It looks like a custom job grafting a PSL with a regular wood SKS stock.  Is that correct?  How'd you do it?

Norinco SKS made around 1963. Is this thing supposed to have a spike bayonet?

Yep.  Only the very early chinese had blades.  The spikes are easy enough to find, and are quick to change.  You might be able to trade the blade for one too.
