Got my mint 59/66!

[REDSTAR]

Yep, these are the cadillac of SKS allright.

Perfect condition, just like what the others have posted. Worth the money for the serious collector, nice addition to my SKS collection.

Not alot of grain to the wood and a small portion towards the bottom didn't get any stain but I think I can fix that easily.

Odd thing on this rifle. All parts have a nicely stamped serial number including the stock. In addition however, all parts except the receiver are electro penciled with another number different than the serial number. :confused: This number is also written on the cutout for the safety on the stock. The electropencil is done in out of the way areas of the parts but it is done on every part the regular stamped number is at. Weird, maybe it was a unit number or something. Either that or they renumbered it for some reason. Doesn't make sense though because all the regular numbers are matching. So I have double matching numbers, woo-woo!.

Barrel is beautiful. Ill probably pick up another of these when AIM gets them.

Quality of manufacture is the best I've ever seen on an SKS.

I think I'm going to be the only one not getting one of these now.Christmas coming up and bills.damn it all to hell I want one BAD :mad:

whos2kno

what type of cleaning kit did you get with yours?

I MUST WAIT, I MUST WAIT, I MUST WAIT,I MUST WAIT

Just has the standard SKS cleaning kit in the buttstock. I didn't take it apart to see what all's in there, I assume it's the usual stuff.

I need to clean it up tomorrow and it will be fantastic looking. Great rifle. I wish they wearn't $300 but really a nice example of the SKS. Better quality than my Russians and those are in nice shape too. I'm pretty sure I'll have two before year end.

If you take the rifle in hand and shake it briskly, there is absolutely no rattle. This is a testimony to the fit, which is superb. Most SKS's rattle like crazy or at least a little when you shake them. Of course the piston is probably jammed packed with cosmo still too.

The trigger is smooth as silk compared to other SKS's. Doesn't seem to have that eternity of a pull found on most of these rifles.

This rifle matches the quality found in other Yugo rifles like the M48's. They obviously take pride in their work at the Zastava arsenal.

I'm going to enjoy shooting this rifle.

Way to go REDSTAR. I thought about you and your YUGO all day. Hoped you'd find it to your liking. The only rattle in mine is the cleaning rod now that it's not packed with cosmo. Congratulations. Did you wait till you got home?:p

[SHOOTER]

I'm giving AIM until the end of next week to get these. If not, I/O gets my order. I cannot stand it anymore I must have one.

I love that series. I used to have all the episodes on tape but they wore out. Used to be able to find them at Blockbuster too. "I speak English, I learn it from a book"
