A Romanian in very good condition, no cracked stock, nice bluing for $315 to your front porch? What's not to like? AIM will sell out fast too. Get it soon. Like AIM says, this will be the last of them. And they weren't very common to begin with. An almost-Russian SKS to your door for $315. Damnnnn.

 Yugo's like mine for whatever reason are also issued a new SN by CAI and its on the left side of the rear of the receiver, AFAIK the other types of SKS's from CAI do not have new SN's put on the receiver

it may just be a requirement to issue them on the CA yugo's i'm not sure but i can tell you this my SN is very low i.e. under 1000 so that would actually seem to be the case possibly because CAI had to modify them for CA compliance by removing the GL and putting on a MB and they do so without 922r compliance, from what i heard they got a pass from BATFE for doing this, possibly a requirement was that they had to be issued new SN's for what ever reason i don't know.

Certain serial numbering schemes aren't accepted by BATFE. Cyrillic characters, for example. Or the way many countries numbered the barrel, not the receiver. There might be something about the way that Yugo's are numbered that doesn't fit the legal criteria.
I'll have to go look at my Soviet SKS. Can't remember if it got a new number or not. Then again, it's a KBI import. Last edited by Interloper; 10-06-2010 at 10:14 PM..

the SN sequence of 59/66's are pretty straight forward they are
A-Z followed by up to 6 digit numbers A 123456 for example the numbers never cycled over 1 million, because they never made that many of them. the letters more or less designate what year they were made in for the most part with the exceptions of the early M59's and the ones made in 1981/82 that shared the same letter. if anything the only thing i can think of is that BATFE does not recognize their factory issued SN's because the factory and its records for them got destroyed back in the 90's so nothing can be confirmed about when they were made but all this info has already been figured out enough by the collector community.

Woohoo, the SKS I ordered is currently sitting at the UPS facility. I should receive it tomorrow (I'll probably have to pick it up, though, since no one will be home to sign for it). Pix to come
