Yugoslavia didn't manufacture AKs until the 60's.

If I was you I would shoot it and then take some picture and post them here and do research. There's a lot of guys on here that would be able to tell you everything with a picture. Just tell the guy you'll think about it

The quality of reweld builds is all over the map depending on who did the work.  I would look the receiver over real good (inside and out), paying particularly close attention to the welds.  



A quality reweld build can be an excellent rifle.  My Yugo M64 is a reweld (Matt Yeamans) and it is a great rifle.
