Reposted from the GD forum I thought a few here might want an update as these are C&R.......

Here's a link to the site I moderate over at Gunboards that has some neat pic's of IO yugo SKS's. They do look to be in EXC shape and have the accessories with them. I know alot of talk has been bantered about about these and if, when and what shape they will show up in. It's been a long wait and hopefully they will live up to the expectations, $250-300 is a good price on one of these.

Oh man...now I got wood. Those babies look great.

I canceled my I/O order because AIM says they are getting them. I sure hope the ones AIM gets are in that condition.

Those are just the VG's. My Like New is in a suite at the Hilton resting in a climate controlled container until the UPS Limo delivers it to me on Thursday. :D

Seriously, I'm in the same zone as I/O so I should have mine Thursday or Friday if they ship Wednesday. The two cases of 7.62x39 I ordered form Classic Arms should be here the same day. I'm talking 3/4 chubby come this weekend.

I couldn't help myself. I just had to. I called to see if my order shipped a few minutes ago. I didn't tell them anything but my zipcode and name. The lady, who was very nice as a matter of fact, told me my order shipped on the 14th, yesterday. She then said, "Oh you got one of the Yugo's". Dam skippy I got a Yugo. I guess I'll make up a duty roster for the neighbors to stand BBT watch. Better ask the daughter to skip college today and stay on the porch. A man's gotta have priorities don't he?:D

:cool: Can't wait. If I can't get a bulgie, I'll go with a Yugo. Hurry up, C&R license.

$100 cheaper is great in my book any day.

It seems like quite a stretch to sell a Yugo for the price of a Romanian, weren't these selling for $400 at their cheapest last time? I guess anything is possible. Seems more like a marketing ploy though. Still I'll grab another one if they are. Can't have too many guns. I doubt I'll feel as bad about spending $300 as the guys who spent $1200 are feeling.

Man I hope that -$100. is right. $149. and $199. for the Yugo SKS would be awesome.

That's about what they're worth in my book......I'll be grabbing one regardless of what the wifey says about that CC balance moving ever skyward! :)

No BBT today. My Brownells order was supposed to arrive but tracking says it was rescheduled for tomorrow. I hope my Yugo shows up tomorrow, the anticipation is killing me. I've only gotten next day from Classic Arms on a MAS 36 so maybe second day is the best I can expect from most others. Tomorrow is a whole new day.

Called AIM today and ordered a Excellent VZ24/47. Chris I think it was said the SKSs were about two weeks out but it might take as long as four. Christmas Present to self.

A blast from the past... :)

In Feb of 2001 I saw a Yugo sell for $800, in april we started getting info these were coming over and many at the time were predicting they would never be allowed in. It's been quite a ride....and prices are low and supply is up.

It's depressing enough to look at one of mine that's in NRA "ratty ass" condition that I paid around $160 for back before the prices really started falling.:(
