SKS rifles..

[rkt88edmo]

Anyone know how the Big5 59/66s have the grenade launcher issue fixed? Cut off or sleeved?


$150 is a pretty darn good deal. Maybe they will carry 59s next, I'd really be interested then.

Shrek said they have muzzle breaks. Any way I just got back from the Big 5 in Lancaster. I did not see any SKS rifles and the only milsurp I saw in their ad was the MN M44 for $75.

I worked at Big 5 for two years. Cali Big Five's DO NOT sale SKS's. Just out of state stores.(I also talked to them today. )

Well that figures. I knew it sounded too good to be true.

Yep, only the out-of-state Big 5s sell SKS's. Pity, really.

Sportsmen's Supply in Campbell gets Yugos in regularly for $180 - some are in very good condition, and some less so.

Chinese tend to go for $250 and up, and all the Russians I've seen this year have been in the $350 and up range(!).

The Yugos are almost always covered in cosmo, and it takes some time and effort to clean them up. I'd personally pay an extra $40 for a clean Chinese over a cosmo's Yugo, but that's just me...



All the Yugo's

on sale now at TURNER's

I don't believe they're C&R eligible in the state unless they're OVER 50 years old. SKS's are on the C&R list BUT I believe in CA it also has to be at least 50 years old for it to qualify in state along with not being an assault weapon.

Exactly right.

That Turners M59 is a photoshopped image, the M59 doesn't have the grenade launcher ladder sight, nor does it have the grenade-launcher-looking muzzle

I work at Big 5, and all we've got is semi-auto .22s like the 10/22 and Remi 597. No SKSs. There's Enfields, Schmidt-Rubins, and various Mosins and Mausers.

Exactly wrong. This is a common misconception. If it is not over 50 years old then it cannot be shipped to an 03 FFL but it is still C&R. If you have a C&R and a COE you can walk into a store, pay for it, DROS it, and take it home the same day.
