Nice looking M59!!! I love the wood!!! thumb1
Yes.. nice wood. PAX
Awww very refreshing. I can smell that Comblock Serbian beauty from here. thumb1
sweet! will have to check them out.
Still dripping cosmo from that action. Might have to get this one cleaned up. It does have decent wood for a furb.
nice rifle, love the straight up M59 , never cared for all the grenade crap
Very nice M59. Man, I haven't heard anybody mention Dan's Ammo for quite a while. Wasn't even sure he was still around.

Yea its prob been 8 months since I bought something from them. I looked at their website not long ago and they are down to nothing in inventory. I think they are going the way of SOG. Not sure how old Dan is but with surplus in general getting thinner its a probable they are almost gone.
I got an M1 Winchester carbine from him not too long ago. He is alive and kicking but inventory moves quickly these days…
Very nice carbine there. Dan's is a definite straight shooter in my book. Would love to buy from him again, he just hasn't had anything I've wanted in a *very* long time :(
thumb1 thumb1 Nice... just cause I'm that kinda guy... can I have it?? never hurts to ask. :)

Very nice! I like the M59s and I love that wood 8) thumb1 It doesn't appear to be the standard elm. Looks more like walnut to me. I've got an M59 that I think is also in a walnut stock. Should be back a few pages on this sub-forum chuckles1 ...

Agreed... I think the last purchase I had from them was for some flares. Last rifle purchase was those Beretta Olympia's from a few years back.

Nice riffle you have there. I wondered about the stock... Ive always heard Elm as well but it sure doesnt look like my A1 versions.

Thanks. To be clear, I know the vast majority of Yugoslavian SKS (and M48 Mauser) stocks are elm, but they definitely had some walnut Mauser stocks and it’s likely there were some SKS stocks that were walnut (but certainly not teak).
Here is a Yugo oddity.. certainly not elm.. definitely not teak..

I read somewhere, they used a type of oak on the Mausers as well.. cause I have an odd one of them too. The hand guard on both the SKS above and the Mauser are elm..

Interesting... you have a light version as well.

Ive asked this question about the stock on another board. I think I may have found the answer. I believe these to also be elm. I have not looked at the end grain yet... and Im not an arborist either but I think the answer is the light colored stocks are elm but they are made of the sap wood from the elm and the others are made of the heart wood. Thus the color differences and even grain appearance differences.
I do have a lighter M59 stock.. My M59 long barrel is a light variant also, this is the "B" prefix, the dark one above is the "C" prefix.

What a great grouping of rifles and sks's. Im missing the long barrel... Ive never seen one for sale. Where in the world did you find yours?
They definitely don't come up for sale very often, I've seen way more East Germans, North Koreans and NVA SKSs being sold, than I do M59 long barrels. A few years ago, a member here had quite a few and put them up for sale. Dans Ammo had a few listed about the same time as I remember. Most of them got snapped up quickly and quietly by a few members here..
Yep I was a bit late on the Dan's Ammo long barrels ...like one day late. Ive not seen any since. Cool part of the history of these rifles.
