Got this in the mail on Monday. UPS guy gave me a funny look...long package...21 or older...must sign...? HUH. $149.95.
He comes at least once a week anymore. Try and tell me aimsurplus didn't send me a fantastic M59 Yugo piece:   -Rob |

I would have looked at you funny too, considering your 110VAC outlets are upside-down.

If you think that's bad, you should see the landlord's idea of how to fence in a yard. |

Yeah, they wanted $10 extra for the hand select but I'm thinking *maybe* that was a waste of money. I don't see it up for sale on their website anymore. I also would suggest militarygunsupply.com. I had to pick up a few extra things that only aimsurplus had otherwise I think maybe I would've gone with them. -Rob |

I got my M59/66 "in trade"* for a year-and-a-half old 2.something megapixel Kodak camera that I bought on clearance at Target for $129.99.
*Brother-in-law "borrowed" said camera, and I haven't seen him in over a year. His M59/66 was left in my safe, so. . . |

It's a pretty straight shooter for an SKS.
Do you find the grenade attachment to be a bit cumbersome? Their website: www.militarygunsupply.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=CRYU59 |

Think of it as a bigger-than-usual muzzle device (e.g. flash suppressor or muzzle brake). I see no difference. I like the grenade launcher simply because it makes Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, Barbara Boxer, Charles Schumer and the like cry.

I got all excited when I heard that BIG 5 was selling them at their outlet stores so I sped up to the nearest one here on the westide of olympia and was extremely disappointed. The danged gun had about 30% finish and they wanted $169 for it. No thanks. Plus a communist had carved things into the buttstock. Eh.
And I thought the gigantic stabbing instrument affixed to the end was enough for them to lose sleep over

I've fired a few SKSs and fondled even more, but I think you'll agree that the Yugos are the prettiest and most well-made SKSs out there.

It kinda clashes with the yellow paint, but...NICE RIFLE!

Without question. My last one was a pre-89 Norinco. It was a nice...well actually let me see if I can find a few pictures of it... Regardless. Out of the box this Yugo of mine was far more accurate with less play in the parts.
Yellow. Yeah I'm not feelin' it either. ::EDIT:: This is the rifle when I purchased it with the Commie laquer finish (whatever it was):  This was after I refinished the stock:   -Rob |

Nice looking rifles man. I don't know why but I just haven't ever made it a priority to pick up any comblock weapons but I really think I need to change that.
Can't beat that price except maybe the roll your own's out there... |

A properly diameter, approx. 4'' long piece of wooden dowel, a "pre-ban" lawndart, some epoxy and 7.62x39mm blanks would make the 59/66's nade launcher much more feasable.

Nice looking Yugo!..
The Norinco with the AK mag. is not doing anything for me, but to each his own. |

The Norinco I no longer have...plus, as every SKS owner knows, that magazine was worthless. It Jammed all the time.
