c-rock Posted October 16, 2008 at 04:23 AM Posted October 16, 2008 at 04:23 AM I was looking thru my backup drive, I found some pics of my SKS I was playing around with for awhile. I always liked that rifle, since its so easy to work on. Its a Russian from 1950. Bando is chinese I believe. I keep them loaded with FMJ. I replaced the rear site with a scope mount that attaches to it, and put a aimpoint on the rifle. I am thinking of removing the aimpoint, and putting on a scout type 3X fixed on there. Anyone else dig those commie rifles?
billzfx4 Posted October 16, 2008 at 04:43 AM Posted October 16, 2008 at 04:43 AM Mailed my C&R app. 9/24, check was cashed 9/30.First purchase I plan on making with it is a Yugo SKS. For some odd reason I just love the look of the grenade launcher on it.
MARKHOLSTRUM Posted October 16, 2008 at 02:10 PM Posted October 16, 2008 at 02:10 PM bought an unissued yugo back in 2003 for $160....needless to say that rifle is not leaving the collection. BTW I leave the commie rifles bone stock. I have never had any luck modifying them and they just seem to shoot better the way they were made.

Dang man,wish I knew you were looking for a Yugo.I got one and am trying to figure out how to get the launcher off of it without ruining it.I don't care for that look;would much rather have a Russian,or Chinese.

I dont think that GL is comming off.....most of them are silver soldered on and I think they may even be LH threads......about the only thing I have heard that works is cutting it off and re-crowning it. I had another one one time that I took the GL flip up sight off and it helped streamline it but it is kind of a predicament but for such a good milsurp I just live with it.
panzermk2 Posted October 16, 2008 at 07:08 PM Posted October 16, 2008 at 07:08 PM I love mine. They cannot be imported anymore and only a handful got in before Bubba's import ban went into affect. It is a cut down SKS mated with AK47 lower components. The thumb hole stock is one of the best and strongest stocks I have ever seen. I was going to change it but it fits so well I am never going to mess with it. This a internet pic. I put black skateboard tape on the pistol grip and for grip. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e169/panzermk2/Guns/pix324166611.jpg
GarandFan Posted October 16, 2008 at 07:25 PM Posted October 16, 2008 at 07:25 PM Anyone else dig those commie rifles? You bet! I have three of them (two Yugos and a Norinco). Southern Ohio Gun has Romanian SKSs in right now ...
SmershAgent Posted October 16, 2008 at 07:26 PM Posted October 16, 2008 at 07:26 PM I got my Excellent condition 59/66 from AIM for something like $90 in 2004. I really wish I'd bought more than one...

Unfortunately all the ones I have found are about double that price. These days you cant find an unissued......it was the bet 160 bucks I have ever spent. I probobly have well over 3000 rds through it and its still rockin..I did however have to have a machinist friend make me a new stainless steel gas port because the factory ones are flaky. all the ones that are un-issued that I have seen have been through heck and back and honestly most of them have cycling issues (primarily from the gas port).
Mr. Runyon Posted October 16, 2008 at 08:34 PM Posted October 16, 2008 at 08:34 PM I have a nice Norinco for sell. http://a686.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/2/l_caf8132f1f9445a07c91b6a8b9ce534d.jpg

If you want it you better jump on it.
