496868924   Zastava 59/66 SKS; 7.62x39; Semi; Blue; C&R; NR   12   $305.00    M59/66   D   Force-Matched   Good   This is the gun that caused such a stink on Gunboards that they took down the entire 2 page thread.  Let's look at it objectively: this gun has all the telltale signs that show it was modified to be a select fire weapon.  Without wading into the legalities of any of that, this is a very cool gun!  Aside from the mod, the other thing that is exceedingly interesting about this gun is that it is a D block gun and like many other D block guns, it is a true M59/66...that's right NO NIGHT SIGHTS on this one.  The guy who bought it got a screaming deal even w/o the select fire cutouts.  Now the question becomes, now that he poked his head above the gopher hole, will the ATF play whack-a-mole?  Sometimes it's just better to keep things to yourself...

NO STAMPED PARTS HERE. Not even the bolts’ dust cover. Likewise, unlike the laminated furniture seen elsewhere, the stocks on the 59/66 were made of solid Beech-wood and a few exceptions in Teak." is so full of horse**** that it's not even worth talking about this turd anymore.  S.A.L.E. is on my 'do not deal with' list (though I think they may have already been there before)

507903875   Tactical Yugo M59/66 SKS TAPCO/16" Barrel   3   $399.00    M59/66   Uncertain   Bubba   Good   That digital camo makes this thing look like it's put together with black and white legos.

511490920   Yugo Ceremonial Guard SKS 59/66 Unissued as New   1   $975.00    M59/66 Honor Guard   V   All-Matching   Excellent   I don't know what saddens me more, to know that someone will pay $200 above the price these went for at retail just two weeks ago, or to know that this rifle will be hacked up just so a collector in CA can have one in his collection.  Sometimes all you can do is shake your head...
