Picked up a Nice "Cherry's" Yugo. Still has grease in the Internals.

I love Cherry's....especially the kind that don't grow on trees like this one....

If you are going to have only one Yugo, hold out for a Cherry's...they are usually museum grade SKSs....well, unless used....they start off being top notch...hence the name of the importer.

I love mine...welcome to the club!

Nothing is Smithsonian grade....just ask the Ark of the Covenant and all those American giant skeletons they have tucked away in the basement.  Besplode

Nice SKS!  thumb1

Cherry's Fine Guns is a family business, which accounts for the family name incorporated into the business name.  They are a dealer as well as an importer located in Greensboro NC, hence the "GBO NC" for their location on their import stamp. They do tend to have guns in cherry condition but not 100% of the time.



P.S. Their website is laid out only a little bit better than Samco's old website (missing "link-backs", for example)  :))

http://cherrys.com/inventory.htm

With a color scheme slightly better than Dennis Kroh's Empire Arms   chuckles1

Nice thumb1

I have a Yugo M48BO from Cherry's.. It is a sexy hunk-a-Mauser till you check the bore... it is a patch shredder. I wanted to blame the last owner, it was a second hand purchase...but considering the bore and rifle was still packed with grease, that would have been kind of hard.

I'm in the process of changing my name to Cherry.... So all you goobers with Cherrys Yugo can expect a PM from me with return to owner instructions.

So, does that mean that you are now proclaiming yourself to be a "fruit"?   :o
Just asking.   rofl
