Removing Yugo muzzle break

[biglou]

Question for the C&R crowd. I bought this yugo M59/66 a few years back from I/O. It's never been fired. They covered the break with sheet metal to be able to ship it to Kali. My question is, if I replace it with something more practical will I reduce whatever value it has ? I am either going to start shooting it or sell it to fund an upcoming AR retro build. Third picture is for the curious. I changed the top cover and put on a cheap-o scope, I have the original somewhere.

Seeing as how all M59/66s in California have had the original grenade launcher either removed or covered up, I don't see how changing out the one IO came up with would hurt the value. But if you are just going to sell it then you shouldn't waste any money putting a new muzzle device on there.

my 1978 yugo 59/66A1 has the goofy add on muzzle break. i love the rifle so much i am just going to leave it as is.

I put theTapco brake on mine. It looks very similar to the original
