Quite the beauty SS. Thanks for sharing!

Members from SKS-Files got 3 of the 5 from that shipment from Dan's. (possibly even 4/5 I can't remember who got the last one, it's been too long now!

Edit. yup, was 4/5, it was you, me, P32 and Carbine: https://sks-files.com/index.php?topic=1794) P32's gun was nicer than mine, but doesn't have a matching stock like yours. Mine has a M59 C series stock on it, still have it in the grease. I don't get why LB M59s don't have more of a following, they are one of the more unique versions available out there and exceptionally hard to find.

The long barrels are pretty unique.
When I get some free time I will post some new pictures of #14 that I received from Dan’s in October of 2015.

You M59ers with the long schlongs have one of the most uncommon SkS's on the planet. Its not like they made many and destroyed them like our Albanian friends. These guys are Keepers !! You guys pulled the trigger on these while others like me himmed and hawwed .. GM will tell ya. His sat on Allans Armory a week or maybe two b4 he bought his. Straightshooter and Phos both have a pair of beautys ! Real honest collectors. I did notice on the back of the receiver next to the dust cover is the serial number 37. I never saw that before. Do all the LB's have that stamp there ? Congrats and thanks for the detailed picture package

As far as I know, all of the long barrels from the 01 to 100 block have that serial number on the rear left corner of the receiver. The few odd C block long barrels do not. Most likely those were instances of putting a spare long barrel on an otherwise typical late M59.
