have the values of Yugo chinese and SKS's in general gone way up? I remember a few months ago a SKS woudl sell for 275-325$ if you had a bunch of stuff to go with it. but the average peice seemed to be in the 180-220 range. Maybe Im just imagining it?
have yugos gone up in price and is a yugo M59 more rare than a yugo m59/66?

I think Yugos and Chinese SKS prices were a bit undervalued (esp. Chinese) and have increased (maybe not noticeably in a "few months" but definitely in a year).

Dunno about productions numbers, but AFAIK Yugo M59s are more rare to begin with. They are also older (closer to C&R) and do not have the GL that needs to be neutered.

I remember $200 Chinse MAK-90s and $50 chinese SKS, $99 for a case of 1200 rounds or 7.62x39, and 30 round mags, 6 to a pack in the cosmoline (can't remember the cost, but it was low) ....ahhh the early 90's.....those were the days.

Ahh yes, those were the good ole days.

[sorensen440]

you can still get them out of state in the 200 range

[AJAX22]

heh, I got a ton of em stashed.

Value is only going to go up.... it's more than doubled in the last 2.5 years

[mike100]

maybe it's time to sell my m59 since I have a genuine russian example now. Still, once the imports dry up, then the price goes higher.

I remember washing the cosmoline off in the dishwasher- the whole thing fits once you take the stock off. I never though it would be worth $300.

Ya, SKS prices have jumped. I am trying to sell a very nice one right and one of the reasons I don't want to is because it a few years it will probably be worth another $100 or two.

[Rob454]

I was thinking of selling mine but now Im probably gonna keep it. makes a great plinker and its really accurate and sturdy
