Yugo 59/66a1 SKS's by the crate

[Straightbolt]

This new batch of rifles are pretty however I just can't get passed the fact I paid $75.00 for an SKS years ago.

Years ago you could buy a new car for less than $3K also.
Sadly we are never going to see the same prices for either ever again.

Here's a translation of the Log Book if you're curious. Mine shows it was never taken out of the preservation grease.

Yep, just came today. Paid 10 dollar hand select and asked for darker wood

Crap! I ordered last night, saw that you were able request the darker wood, and just got off the phone with them ... mine was already boxed for the truck.

Oh, well. So long as it's a nice one, and SOG seems to actually take Hand Select seriously.

I passed on these over the years because there was always something that I wanted more. I think that it was the paperwork with this lot that really got to me. It's all about the history of the guns with me, and what better documentation can you have than that? (And troop tags ... and trench art with names and dates ... and ... and ....)

I hesitated and said I wasn't going to get another one, but I couldn't resist.

After I ordered mine, I found out about Dan's having M59's and kind of wished I had ordered one of those instead....until I saw mine!

I've made most of my C&R purchases through SOG and they have only let me down once, and it was a cracked/chunk missing on a M48A handguard, and one number difference on the floorplate when I paid for hand select and numbers matching. They refunded the numbers matching, but wouldn't budge on the hand select (they really should have seen the missing chunk)

I now believe the armorer picked up a "3" instead of an "8" when he punched the floorplate, or the other way around, I forget.

Other than that, I have always believed that they took the time to actually select them, and any time I have made a specific request, they have honored it (such as the stock on this, and the reinforcement on a Walther P1 for example)

Hope yours turns out nice, although I have yet to see one that isn't out of this batch!

For $450+ shipped? Just curious.

No, I got mine years ago. It was around $259.99 if I recall.
