Yugo M59/66 SKS
My Yugo M59/66 SKS rifle I purchased a year ago. By its serial number, it dates to 1971 year of manufacture. It is still in the grease at this time.

Guns are bad, I’m sure by now you have donated it to a worthily cause like BLM?

Looks nice. Not that many years ago they were selling for $100 a pop or so. The grenade launcher attachment makes them a tad front-end heavy imo, along with the bayonet. Still a good reliable shooter, though.

I once had a Yugo 59/66 w/ Grenade Launcher sight and 'spike' bayonet.....and a TAPCO folding stock, that accepted AK-47 mags. I loved it! It ate Brown Bear, Golden Bear & Silver Bear ammo, like it was going out of style. Then I found a 'deal' on Tula Wolf Ammo. I bought a 'cheap plastic ammo can' from Cabela's, that included 500 rounds of Tula Wolf ammo. After firing ONE round, the laquer finish on the case 'melted' and basically 'glued' the spent case into the chamber. I couldn't pull back the bolt manually. I had to 'ram' the bolt handle against the edge of the tailgate of my pickup, to force it to release/eject the spent case.
Gave away the remaining 480+ rounds of the ammo, and sold the SKS for twice what I paid for it. |

My Yugo 59 and 59/66
 Haven't shot them in years, but they do shoot great.

I had a Yugo once. But the gas valve was so seized with rust, it wasn't worth keeping with everything else that was wrong with it. If your gas valve rotates freely, get yourself some blanks (I may have a box or two). I've seen several youtube videos where guys would make tennis ball rockets to shoot off in grenade mode.
