dug my M59 out

[hoopharted]

finally made it deep enough to unearth my old Yugo M59 , very early import judging by two things , first ive had it for ever , lol , second the importer actually removed the action from the stock and very neatly marked it hidden under the barrel , all matched s/n

so why hardly no straight up M59 rifles , everything seems to be a 59/66

Sounds like a Samco import with the marking under the wood.

Because there were only about 25000 M59s made, according to recorded serial numbers, but a total of 654000 Yugoslavian SKSs of all models, M59 long barrel, M59 (std. barrel), M59/66 and M59/66-A1, which means less than 4% of production was in the early M59 configuration.

Here's a table that needs a bit of minor updating of recorded SNs but it tells the story.

M59’s are one of my favs. I really dig the dull grey bayonets.  They are like nothing else out there!

Like Bmont, I only have one myself, but it’s probably one of the nicer ones that I own.

    next to Romanians.. I'll go for an M59 over a Russian or Chinese.. I have 3.. the Long barrel, a B series and a C series.

Glad someone finally knocked the dust off this country.

Ha ha ha ha ha I love to knock the dust off some of them Romanian women !! The more beat up they are the better.    your so proud of your long Yugo. I remember the day you bought that thing from Alan's Armory.

Very nice example of a real workhorse H.H. Love the Darker look on the M59 : ) So Cool
Here's a lighter looking example of a vintage Yugoslavian M59 soldier.

sweet , time was more favorable to your bluing than mine , the edges on mine show wear , Yugo stocks have that grainy stock , almost a laminate vibe to them
