Yugoslav Sks

You are good. Century is where Big 5 bought it from. And you bought it from Big 5. You are good to go. You say yours is a 59/66 not a M59. There is a difference. With a detatchable mag I would not take it to the local shooting range. Take it up in the hills. Use the original at the range.

SKSer45 Loves these, Im sure he'll chime in soon..

This is the M59 I got "shipped to me" a couple years back from CAI. It was made in 1966. And yes I'm FFL/03. There were no legal issues on shipping to California per CAI. And its a great shooter. http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/...d/100_3009.jpg http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/...d/100_3007.jpg

Works for me. I would shoot it instead of talking about it, however.

I bought a 59/66 at Big 5 a couple of years ago and the paperwork listed it as "Century Yugo SKS". Might this be a problem if using a detachable mag?

If not, then

No. What matters is what the rifle is marked. The Yugo made rifle you own is a M59/66, not an SKS. There has never been a SKS made in Yugo.

Really? Not an SKS? The Yugoslavian-manufactured SKS carbine-Model 1959/66 with grenade launcher, was not made in their at the Zavod Crevea Zastava complex? Tell us what you know. I'm scratching my head on this.

That is correct. Those Yugo stocks give the meat excellent flavor. So just toss em my way and I will put em to good use.

It is known as a SKS it doesn't say it so you are in a gray area here in CA using a detachable mag.You might be right that it is legal but can you show me a legal case where this has been priven???If not I wouldn't want to be the crash test dummie that had to lawyer up to prove it.I wouldn't do it just to avoid the trouble.IF you use more then a 10 rd mag the gun has to be 922r compliant and it is easier to load a SKS with a 10 rd stripper clip then it is forcing rds in a mag by hand.

Being known as one and being one are two different things.

You are correct though that some LEO and/or DA might try to come after you, but they would lose and you would win. I don't know if there is a case or not but I do know that it's not an SKS.


EDIT

As I was taking a shower I remembered there is a case. It's the very same case that brought us OLLs.

J. W. HARROTT, Plaintiff and Appellant,

v.

COUNTY OF KINGS et al., Defendants and Respondents.

In this case it was determined that "series" guns could not be banned. They either had to be listed by name or be banned by features.

http://www.law.com/regionals/ca/opinions/jun/s055064.shtml

The Yugo M59, M59/66 and M59/66A1 are NOT named nor do they have any features (sans GL) that make them an AW or banned in any way shape or form even with a detachable magazine.

Morrcarr67, perhaps you can tell us what these are? I thought that these where different types of SKS rifles. Because what I have read, Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov designed the SKS45g carbine. Then a few other countries built some also. So, then what are these things called?
