"Unissued" Yugos from SOG

[Greasemonkey]

I'm not quite the 'enabler' that GM is, but I try my best! 

Good luck with them guys.  I've never dealt with this particular shop before, caveat emptor and all that.

Enabler, uh, really, you too ....

  Seriously, imagine, you drop 425, you order the M59, boom, a "B" series serial shows up...Now you sit there basking in your joy, you would be like a 15yr old boy on a nude beach, then you realize, hey, I coulda got me an unissued refurb M59/66 w/a S&H green stamp book and free sling.. 

The odds of it happening, while slim, are far more interesting and even if it is a "C" so what, whats the ratio of M59s to M59/66s, maybe something like one M59 for every 1000 M59/66 produced.

I gave them a call and they said these came in with the 59/66s and are in the same condition. He did say there were very few. There's no real handpick but he says they go from best to worst and adjust price if need be. I told him I'd prefer an A or B serial so who knows. I ordered a '43 M44 from them a while ago and was quite happy. He said it will ship Monday.

Maybe it's just me but, Yugos are the one SKS I really don't have any desire to own. I think the grenade launcher is fugly.

I used to think that way, until I got my hands on one.  Hard to explain it.  Like Mosinitis.  I never caught Mosinitis, but I did get the SKS bug.

Did anyone notice the M59 in the middle with what appears to be a chrome gas tube?




What is with that? Doesn't look like the blue is wore, just looks like it never had any? That will probably be the one I get... Dang it RM I couldn't pass it up.

Looks like worn bluing to me... Likely was on another gun prior.  Obviously not "unissued".  Lol

[bbush44]

Is this old? Or did this place get some 59/66 also?

Dunno if its old but it shows sold out.  Someone did mention the m59s came in with some 59/66 guns.

Yes these were from a while back. The M59s he has came in with this Slovenia batch but he didn't say if they had some of those too and I didn't think to ask.

I think it is just worn. 

I wouldn't care if I got it as long as it is a numbers matching M59.  They seem to hold value better with numbers matching.  It will be interesting to see how these turn out.

The 59/66s I was able to resist, since I'm happy with the one I have, but I couldn't pass on one of these M59s 

I guess I bought the lottery ticket and we'll see what I get  Wait...that's a lot of scratch just to get my Cosmoline fix

Maybe them chrome ones are the Pink Panthers rifles, a.k.a. Serbian Mafia...  them dudes were into everything, especially diamonds.

Mafia rifle or Honor Guard...mafia sounds oh so much cooler

Hey I got one of those too. An M59 from Dan's Ammo in route to NE.

Mine came in.  Serial starts with C44.  Stock shows another serial sanded but the receiver serial matches the stock.  VERY amazing bluing.  Stock has some dings, but beautiful anyway.  EPd everything else except no serial on receiver cover or magazine. 

I paid less for a matching Russian SKS with EP magazine. This M59 is nice, but I have a all-stamped matching 59/66 that cost a lot less.  I have Chinese SKSs that are just as nice and cost me a lot less. 

I am not really very impressed and I don't think it was worth it.  I will leave it in cosmo and shoot my other stuff. 

I hope you guys get something nice.

Sorry to hear you're not too happy with it K9.  My advice would be to give it a bit of time and see if it grows on you.  The first Sino-Banian I got back in 2012 was a bit of mixmaster with almost zero bluing and a replacement stock. I was really disappointed; so much so that I was ready to flip it at a loss if I had to. Over time it really grew on me and it soon became my favorite SKS.
