Another new Yugo SKS

[BlueHeeler]

Southern Ohio Guns did it again. I ordered a Yugo SKS and wondered why hand pick was not an option. When the gun arrived it was apparent. The gun looks brand new in every respect. It was LOADED with cosmoline and 10/10 perfect. This is a MUST buy (or two ) IMHO. It has the grenade launcher, bayonet, and flip up night sights! It also comes with the brass oil bottle, cleaning kit, sling, and leather double pouch. The night sights do not work as well as modern ones, but for the age it is uber cool.

I know. Do you think that would earn me a season ban or a lifetime ban from Myrtle grove?

It would be worth it.

I was thinking of having part of my paycheck direct deposited in my SOG account.

I have the addiction C&R bad.

Without a doubt, this is the most perfect condition firearm I own.

I just ordered one, thanks for the tip! I hope it's as nice as yours.

Awesome!

Prepare for thick cosmoline. It took me 6 hours to get most of the gun clean. OTOH it was well preserved and I can now strip to parts it in a couple minutes.

I saw an interesting attachment for the grenade launcher that will shoot golf balls with blank cartridges. You should invest in one.

Looks nice. I have the same Yugo SKS. Beefy rifle isn't it? I actually liked my Yugo better than my Russian Tula, which I was forced to sell. I really, really want another Yugo SKS, but the money isn't flowing in like it used to. I read online somewhere the Yugos were imported in less numbers than the Russian or Chinese ones, they are just being released more recently, so if you want one, get it now while the getting is good.

IIRC there were small imports in the 90's of Yugos that went for over $1K per rifle as they were thought to be extremely rare. When the supply floodgate opened in the early 2000's, the prices bottomed out.

thats a beautiful sks!!!

Damn. You suck. You're going to make me buy another firearm.

She's a nice one. Your banjo oiler is a nice addition. I had to go outside to get one. The Yugo is heavy, but tougher'n nails.

 

[smokedog]

Thats a nice yugo. Good score

I just tried to find one on SOG but I guess people can't view guns without registering to a C&R or FFL? Wanted to see how competetive their prices were in case I decided to get another in the future.

That's a beautiful yugo right there.
I may have figured out a quick and easy way to tell whether an SKS has been fired a lot.
Each time the sks is fired the bolt hits the reciever (right by the chamber). I think the part of the reciever/chamber where the front of the bolt hits gets smashed in after being fired a lot.
Unused sks rifles will not have any signs of impact and heavily used ones will have a smashed down appearance from where the front of the bolt hits it repeatedly.
Am I right?
I have a heavily used sks and an unused sks and after comparing them I noticed this.

You cannot view SOG without a C&R or 01ffl. Mine was $338.87. They are less expensive if you buy more than one. Atlantic Guns had 2 that were well used on the shelf for +$400 IIRC. So yes, I feel it was a good deal.

That's not bad. I actually like the Yugo better than the Russian or Chinese, but it IS heavier. But if feels like it's built like a tank. Mine was unfired, still in 50 year old ear wax.

I am not sure, but it sounds good. Is the part below what you are talking about? Now I do not want to shoot it. I should have bought two.

Yes. My Dad has a Russian SKS that I have shot a bit. I have always found the Ruskie somewhat plain. The Yugo OTOH looks like the business. I like that it is the Swiss Army knife of SKSs.
