First, thank you for the tireless work you put into this tracking thread every month. 

I was blessed to luck on the B-series.  I missed the batch of Long Barrels and B prefix from Dan's Ammo a few months back and have been on the search since. 

553071103   SKS Model 59 Yugo Rifle 7.62x39 SKS-B15216   5   $455.00    M59   B   Uncertain   Good   Awesome buy here.  B series M59s don't turn up....ever.

Here some additional pictures. 


I cannot ell if the bolt serial is original laser iprinted or a refurb electro etching. 


Forarm has a stock part number and matches color wise with the stock.


Original grey bayonet.  Were on the right track here!


Stock is pretty awesome.


Overall, it is pretty nice. 

The bluing is deep and rich, covered in a light film of cosmo.  It's a TG import. 

Fire away with comments if you can increase knowledge. 

[Loose}{Cannon]

Not bad...  Plenty changing hands.   

Good work as usual.

[Loose}{Cannon]

Nice Apple...    1trz stamp on the stock?

[CARBINE]

Nice find man, can't beat that.....one of them is on my bucket list.

[Loose}{Cannon]

I had the chance to buy one the other day.... Passed on the opportunity to a board member I knew was looking for one.   Seller also has a couple C block 59s for sale... Contact me if interested.

[applegoomp]

Nice Apple...    1trz stamp on the stock?

Yes 1.TRZ mark on the right of stock. 

[Loose}{Cannon]

Very hard to tell when a 59 has been reworked, Why the 1trz wasn't applied to 59/66 reworks is beyond me, but I would love to find out.  There may be just a wee bit more to that story.

[running-man]

Awesome get AG!  You got a heck of a good price too!  I was surprised that it only attracted 5 bids. Maybe it just flew under the radar?  Either way, you were meant to have it. 

[Loose}{Cannon]

I guess most people simply dont care what letter is in front of the serial.   

[running-man]

Could very well be LC, could be.   Not too many M59s this month. They ebb and flow. I wonder how badly the current retail sales out of Classic & SOG are really depressing the second hand Yugo market on GB?

[Loose}{Cannon]

Welp....   As long as you can get an sks from a retailer at $250......

[Phosphorus32]

Somehow I missed your B series applegoomp

The bolt on mine has an electro-penciled number, you can see how it's stippled. It's also a 1.TRZ refurb

I cannot ell if the bolt serial is original laser iprinted or a refurb electro etching.
