might do a trade, what do you think?

my wasr for a 59/66 with $125 or 500 rounds Yugo is your typical used very good condition model only the bolt mismatched clean valve. opinions

Used WASRs in these parts sell for about $650 or so.

A decent M59/66 is about a $400 gun, without mismatched parts.

You can buy 1000 rounds of 7.62x39 for $220 online.

So 400+125+110=$625

I'd tell him the Yugo, plus the $125 AND the ammo.

For some reason, there's not overly high amounts of love for 59/66s in the collecting community in general. 

Your typical 'force matched' 59/66 ran around $390 on gunbroker last month (before shipping and transfer fees).  If you add the $125 (or 500 rounds of ammo) to the mix, you're at ~$515.  Is the WASR worth that?  New, it looks like they are selling for $569 (before shipping and transfer) at Atlantic so I don't think either side is too out of line with that deal, though the side trading the SKS is probably making out a bit better.

Having said that, if it was me, I'd bide my time and see about getting a better/nicer/all matching specimen for around the same price if not a bit cheaper.  Very nice Yugo M59/66s aren't too hard to find if you beat the bushes a bit.

I am one of the guys who dislike the 59/66, my end plan is to trade the 56/66 for a cheaper "sino-Banain" plus 500 rounds. then I end up with a full case of ammo and the sks I want lol

Are you on facebook? Join some local gun trader pages on facebook.... you'll sell your WASR there, and probably find an SKS there too....that's where I have found most of mine.

I don't know guys. I bought a cherry, Cherry's Yugo for 450.00 from a fellow SKS files member a few months ago. I'd keep my money and continue looking.

Google: 59/66 Yugo, all matching, for sale

Bud's lists a WASR-10 hi-cap for $582
Buy Century International Arms Inc.

Personally, I'd throw the WASR up in trade for a run of the mill Chinese plus a case of ammo, or go all out, tempt fate, maybe see if you could squander a matching Russian or Albanian, even trade across the board.

He wants to get a gun in person, he doesn't want to buy one then have to pay shipping and transfer fees.
