If you had your choice of one .  which one would you pick ? Darker or Lighter M59..

Both  :)


I favor the darker one thumb1 looks more......beat on and classy and looses the refurbished same 'ol every other M59 look the other has. Hey..you asked thumb1

I dunno!!!!    Too many choices!!    pullhair1

I'd go darker too. Light M59's look too much like 59/66's, and those are a dime a dozen with nothing differentiating one from another.  thumb1

I say the light one... because RM said the dark one.

I prefer the "both" answer.  The grain on the light one pops...but that rich chocolate color...aw, dang it...  nailbite1  ...darker

Eenie... meenie... miney... moe...Ah, I'h have to go with the darker one for its character.   8)

Definitely the darker one. For me it has a mysterious air about it, like Montigre says...character!  clap1

Perhaps the dark one is......   teak.

You snuck your wood in there before I could get Rodney King posted (man that sounds pretty bad).  Just one of my other favorite images to post, along with the Tomlin one GM posted.  rofl2

Just messin.   thumb1

Norwegian Bamboo?

Wait, no....     Arctic Palm.    Tell me I'm wrong!!

QuoteYour not very good at this game.

Arctic Palm, Norwegian Bamboo? doh1

It's Ent wood, the stocks were made by the Yugoslavian Orcs, might be Beechbone, Bregalad, Fimbrethil, Finglas or Fladrif. Might need to ask Fangorn, or Treebeard which stock is made from who, if he made it out..  :o

I'm sure the wood is from Middle-earth forest and ain't that fake crap your shoveling  thumb1

Thanks for the lesson on all your different types of woods gentlemen ..  clap1 clap1 Im pressed to get one of these things before there gone. As you may know the pic is from Dans ammo and yes the darker M59 has me leaning that way. Besides my last M59 was the lighter color and my other two are one light and one dark. Ok Now I have a couple questions. Here is Dans description of the batch for sale...___


CLICK TO ENLARGE

   YUGO M59
Yugoslav M.59 carbine 7.62x39. A rare find! A small number of these found in various Serbian police stations. This particular surplus lot appears to be in very good condition - all matching numbers- original, not refurbished. With accessories.

$399.99

In the pic if you enlarge it,it looks like at the bottom of the stock is a yugo referb mark is that right ? So I believe it is a referb and someone please correct me if im wrong. Also in other pictures on the site I  can see EP marked parts so wouldnt that also be an indication of referb. ? Or would they come out of the factory like that ?

These marks on the stock and ep on some parts wouldn't disqualify buying one..but if they are referbed and sold as non referbed who knows if they are all matching as advertised ? Which would disqualify-from buying one if they weren't..

Openions please

QuoteCLICK TO ENLARGE

I clicked to ENLARGE, many times.....nothin happened... cry1 cry1 still waiting  rofl2

Ok... I went and looked.. not all the pictures will load, but, I see less of the darker wood stocks than the other everyday types. Also...it looks like most, at least the ones showing their butts right rofl have the TRZ.1 stamps on the butt stocks, guess that might blow the nonfurbish stuff off.

My bad GM I should have said click my op Picture to enlarge .. Its still hard to see but where they are stamped is exactly where the TRZ1 is usually stamped. I think im going to roll the dice on them to be all matching because there will probably be a day this November where I will be glad I did.  All matching M59 consists of Reciever, Bolt Carrier, Bolt, and Stock.. Right ?


One would think that as many Yugos as that store has sold they would know the difference between re ferb and non. Unless they do it on purpus lol IDK.

I'll be honest.. even if it were mismatched on a part or two, one key thing....they ain't made no more, second key thing....they ain't getting any newer..or cheaper. thumb1

Refurbed or not refurbed, matchy or un matchy, it's a fairly uncommon variant that get little press when you look at the field.

Now.. I would be curious to know if there is a "B" series in the mess, maybe a "A" or no letter series..

Buy what ever makes your Cintas drawers move and dance about, don't buy based off speculation of something that may or may not even happen. thumb1 chuckles1

Quotematching M59 consists of Reciever, Bolt Carrier, Bolt, and Stock.. Right

Gas tube, piston, magazine

Oh yea id take a B or A series in a heartbeat. But ill buy it speculating its a C   chuckles1 Im going to pull the lever on one or two of these things today.. Thanks to all for  the input  :)

Yugos came factory with EPs....   

It's going to be a C block gun.  Dan pulls B blocks from the lot and advertises them as such (while not charging all that much extra I do believe, Dan is a 100% class act).  thumb1

Well.....so....whadya get, when is it coming, you got pictures yet,  rofl2 chuckles1   

Oh yeah...and back to Correct Directions original question..did you go dark colored wood or that,  other wood?  or even better.....BOTH  thumb1  GM is curious :)

Thanks LC  for the ep update. I figured the bolt carrier might come from the factory ep'd but wasn't sure about trigger guards and mags other then the part numbers..

Not so fast there GM grasshopper.. remember I live here in Ca, so I wont get it for about 15 - 18 days. Shipping plus the 10 day wait. fart1 fart1  BUT ! I orderd Two of the darkest Yugos they had by request. The gal  said she thought that the darker ones were all that was left. I said I wanted the darkest if possible.. My FFL sent all his info and I got a email a short while ago from Dans stating they have been sent..All in a day while I was getting paid,,, I will post up detaild pics when they get here... Yea yea thats what they all say :-* 

Good luck to you KK!  Hope you get a nice one!
