Title: Free Rifle
Post by: Papahound on February 13, 2023, 02:36:44 PM

A friend called and asked if I wanted a free rifle !
Sure I’ll be happy to take it off your hands - and this is what he shows up with , all matching numbers and appears to have never been shot Yugo

Even came complete with all the accessories even a grenade launcher with sights , there also is a little log book written in another language :

Thanks Bryan ! !

Damn, I need some friends like that!  :)

Sweet deal if I do say so myself. Log book included is a definite plus, looks to be a great rifle, seems your friend thought you'd enjoy it more than he would. Either way, don't let em down thumb1

He and I have been friends for over 40 years and have traded weapons back and for many of times , I recently gave him a couple of old USGI pistols and he also gave me the heads up on a awesome Albanian SKS , I’ll be posting some pics of it soon !

Good friends like that are hard to come by !!

Dang, nice looking M59/66 he gave you. Probably about a $750 value easy with all the accessories. Congrats.

Nice, sweet score. I've told my nephews in the past to get 1K of X39 (& keep that much on hand) and I'd give them an SKS. PAX

Thought I would add a couple pics of the accessories that came with it

Cleaning kit in the butt stock - not in pic

Log book

Ammo punch

Leather pouch with oil bottle

And what appears to be a cleaning jag ?

Can’t vouch for the vintage or authenticity , but it all came with the rifle

Wow....that is awesome sir!  Yugos are nice rifles and don't seem to be appreciated as much as they should be. 

Take it out and enjoy it!

We have passed a few guns back and forth over the past 30 years or so mostly Milsurp stuff , he said he picked up a Tula he’s gonna drop off next time he’s in town .. he usually comes across nice stuff during his travels  thumb1
