M59 Long Barrel # 021
« on: October 16, 2015, 07:17:32 PM »
 It arrived! yahoo1

20-1/8"  22-5/32" barrel, bolt face to crown.

Bore is excellent, bluing is very good save for a few scuffs. Stock is mismatched, 012, and you can see an old high SN has been sanded off. I wonder if it got mixed up with #012 during preservative treatment or if Slobodan was dyslexic  :))  Bolt, bolt carrier, receiver rail and rear of receiver, and inside of receiver cover have SN 021. Assembly number on trigger guard. No number on the pristine gas piston in a quick examination.  I'm going out of town in a few minutes to see if there are any deer in northern WA but thought I'd quickly throw up a few pics. Enjoy!

You sure about that barrel length Phos??

Also...  Wasn't one if the 5 guns #12?  If so, maybe #12 has your stock!!

I'm quite sure of the measurement but I'll doublecheck on Monday.

It was either 12 and 14 or 13 and 14, I thought the latter, if I recall correctly. I wish I had recorded the numbers.

Thanks Joe!  I'm very pleased with the bluing and the LB overall.

For someone who has been trying to land a paratrooper for much of my SKS collecting career...I am so jealous for you few who were able to get these long'uns :)

Yet another gorgeous specimen!  I really like the stock, if 012 isn't as nice I would be hard pressed to swap it myself....although chances are you would have a better match with the hand guard.

Congrats!! Glad so many of these made it into the hands of SKS-Files members.  Go Team!  thumb1
