Allens Armory has Ex-Sniper Yugo SKS's...here the the info on the website...

"This is NOT A REPRODUCTION produced here in the USA. This is the real thing! Very few "Yugo SKS snipers" were mixed in with the large number of Yugo SKSs that came in over the last few years. Most lack optics and rail mount/base. These do NOT have bases or optics which would be a ZRAK ON-M89 scope, QD ring/mounts, and carry case. SKSs are not known for their accuracy, so one might call this a "marksman/observation" rifle, while others have referred to it as an "assassins rifle." These rifles were used during the Yugoslavian Civil War (1992 to 1995) to stop the lead vehicle of a motorcade in preparation for a grenade attack. It's also been reported that "freelance snipers" shot civilians as well as military personnel, probably as a terror tactic. This was reported to of been done by all factions. You rarely see these SKSs for sale. This is truly a rare piece from the not too distant past that made history in our lifetime."

$550-$600. Link to the rifles (with other 59/66's)

Idk..... I'd pass

Really? Do you think they are fakes? Or do you just already have a couple.

 

[yellowsled]

Not saying they are fakes, but I think it would be challenging to prove.

What are SKSs selling for these days? The price on those is not as high as I would have expected given the marketing angle of a sniper-ish rifle.

 

[yellowsled]

Without the holes, thats a 300-350 rifle in that condition. Unissued Yugos are selling north of $500 as well as modern chinese ones. There is not much desireability for a Yugo Sniper SKS because its impossibile to prove. For all we know, a bubba did that.

 

[Oldcarjunkie]

Not worth 250 to me.

 

[yellowsled]

Not worth 250 to me.

agreed. That example pictured, id be hard pressed to pay over two bills for that.

 

[101combatvet]

I'm not buying it.

Not a sniper in my opinion.... if real I'm not sure what it would be called.

 

[101combatvet]

I would check around to see if there are any "period" pictures of these rifles. I picked up a scope when I was over there.... all encased in rubber... I still don't know what it went on. They had some real odd-ball military hardware.

Sniper with a SKS from 50 feet ? 30 rounds 1 hit 29 misses

 

[Sirex]

Hmmmm. This gives me an idea. Do you need special hardened bit to drill thru a SKS receiver? Just curious.......

 

[101combatvet]

Hmmmm. This gives me an idea. Do you need special hardened bit to drill thru a SKS receiver? Just curious.......

Basically.... worthless as a "sniper" unless you have the rail.

Exactly .....

 

[Markp]

No "sniper" worth his salt would use an SKS as a "sniper" rifle. Government officials would probably believe it, but beyond that... Not a chance. Could they have been scoped SKS's, sure... but "sniper" variants??? Firing what precision ammo I dare ask!

YUGO Sniper Rifles

M70 (an M48 variant)
M76
M91
M93
M07

SKS is NOT among them!

That's just what I was thinking ... am SKS is hardly a sniper rifle.

 

[WatTyler]

I've had good experiences with AA, but always buy the rifle - not the story.

 

[psoyring]

Well, I have seen pictures of these at least going five years back on GB and other sites, and Allan has a stellar reputation, I do not believe he would sell these unless he was 100% sure they were authentic, unlike many dealers out there, he actually does his research.

I have spoken to him on the phone and purchased a few things from him in the past and he is a straight up guy.

That being said I am still not going to buy one. If it had the 'original' glass and QDM I would consider it but not sure for how much.

Here is a very pretty /26\ Sniper with box and Chinese Scope...This one I would def consider...

 

[yellowsled]

Im not saying its fake at all. What I am saying is after I have it in my hands, how in the world am I going to prove what it is when I sell it/pass it on to my kids? To the next person that does not know Allans reputation, it just looks like a jacked up SKS. Thats all.
