    Yugo SKS Opportunity - First Come, First Served

    Hi all:

    Thought I would let all of my fellow Calgunners know that I had Big 5 Camarillo order me a Yugo SKS. It was brought in from another Big 5 and I just went and checked it out.

    It is a Yugo 59/66, slathered in cosmo, has the GL sight intact, of course has the Cali compliant muzzle brake installed where the GL used to go. The stock is quite nice, examined the bore with my bore light and it had a lot of cosmo but from what I could tell the bore was shiny and beautiful. I could not find an importer mark but I checked all of the usual places, it probably had cosmoline hiding it.

    Bolt is EP'd and from my limited knowledge about SKS, stock didn't match receiver number, magazine cover number didn't even look like a serial number (it was something like BL:000 000 04). They have it for sale for $369.00 and with today's Big 5 After Black Friday sale of 10% off, you can get it for $332.00 plus tax and DROS.

    I passed on it, I just scored an immaculate '55 Tula from out of state that looks like a brand new gun, it arrives this week, yes I will post lots of SKS porn pictures, but I paid more than this for it. So if you are looking for a nice 59/66 shooter with looks to match and non-matching serial numbers don't bother you, it's sitting there, help yourself. Personally, I would rather have this Yugo than most of the ultra beat up Chinese SKS that everyone has been selling, this thing looks brand new compared to the Chinese ones that most of you have been posting. Big 5 has discontinued selling SKS so snap it up as they won't be getting any more. It had all of the pouches, oiler, sling, etc. as well.

    Jesse, the assistant manager can show it to you if they haven't put it out yet.

        No, the bolt was open, I just stuck my bore light in the gap and looked from the barrel end. I agree, the muzzle brake is stupid looking but that is the only way to get one in Cali.

          Bolt is EP'd
          I ask again, they let you take the bolt out? It has been a while, but I don't think you can see the EP with the cover in place.

            No, the flat portion of the top of the bolt, right where the charging handle is was EP'd. Seemed kind of a weird place to EP it to me.

                  How cheap do they have to be for you to buy one?

                    If you have some room on the barrel you can re-thread it and put the flash suppressor (imitation grenade launcher) that Tapco sells or get the Cal legal one that www.buymilsurp.com That is the one I put on my Yugo. There is a pic of it in the gallery.

                      I think a little over $300.00 for a good looking shooter SKS is a good deal. This looked basically new compared to our Chinese as of late. 100% bluing, wood had no major dings, perhaps a few little scuffs.

                      My Russian blonde I have arriving this week looks new, but I paid a lot more than $332.00 for it.

                        Sounds nice, I would probably go look at it if it was local. I sold one I had a while ago...they were $279 then at turners. The price is fair for what it is.

                            How cheap? How does $326 each sound?

                            I recently bought 2 at Big5 for that price....out the door total

                            they should be on clearance price

                              It's good of you to throw that out there. Sub $ 400 for a mint Yugo is a fair price. I have one Yugo shooter and another safe queen, otherwise I'd jump on it.
