How would you describe this Yugo ?

[Cupid]

I have cleaned the cosmo from the internals and the surface of the stock.  The bore is excellent but had a fair bit of copper fouling.... It's the electro stenciled extra numbers that confuse me...

I could tart up the stock but I prefer it unmolested, once messed with they are never the same.


Set me back the Canadian equivalent of $447 USD.. The Yugo's are the most expensive of all up here, they are thin on the ground.

If only we could have an exchange program.....

I would describe it as a nice M59/66A1

What do you make of the electro stencil numbers ?

Not that up on Yugo's so just guessing, but possible production number etchings before they were put into assembly and stamped???

Very very nice matching Yugo (appears to be anyways). The EP'd numbers are production/batch numbers that are common on Yugo's.

It looks like it should, since the Yugoslavians only oiled their stocks. Kudos on not "tarting it up" 

The EP'd number 94663 is an assembly number. You may find it on the barreled receiver as well, under the wood.

The etched numbers like 0-00 022 on the bolt carrier is a part number, generally considered a sign of refurbishment since the as-issued parts don't have those numbers.

I think it looks great.

The comparison with Russian and Chinese SKS rifles was very disappointing, I sold it within two hours of shooting it. I will not get another Yugo SKS.

Was it malfunctioning or just a bit front heavy?  They are kind of heavy, but the follow up shots are a bit quicker.
They don't have chromed barrels, so condition internally is kind of key...along with a healthy gas shut off valve for proper cycling.

Something off with the rifle you had. That is not typical of Yugoslavian M59/66s

See ya got too used to shootin' with those reddots now you can't hit the broad side of a barn with irons,   j/k

Seriously, I would be looking for a burr on the inside of the grenade launcher or muzzle area or something. Yugos are inherantly and consistently more accurate than other SKS variants(generally speaking cause we all know there are exceptions) they are heavier built and non-chromelined barrels which aids in the accuracy.

But, you said you already sold it so I won't continue.

There was something drastically wrong that's for sure, but someone wanted it regardless so I let him have it.

It dawned on me today that the red dot might be a duffer so I tried it on my D, the red dot is fine.

I just noticed I have a "watched" icon that I had not noticed before, I must be important !
