...take your little "gun" AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR *at this point the rest of the message was heavily censored*

Personally, I think you did better by going with a Chinese one. Most of the Yugo's I've seen look nice on the outside, but have pretty thrashed bores. I'd take a mirror bright bore over pretty wood, any day. Congrats! I've still got the Norinco SKS I picked up in the 90's for $95.00.

Oh look, an example of human immaturity.

The development of long range weapons was a massive mistake.

Can I just say that I inspired him?

That is all. =P I bought one and hes like, "NU"

Mmm. Norinco flavor

nothing wrong with that. Theyre actually really good

Might be getting an SKS too unless another SVT-40 comes around. Then again I already have a Mosin.

I'll admit I never really thought much of Chinese made shit, still being extremely new to the gun world I'll admit, but apparently they make guns better than plastic toys infused with mercury.

That's what everyone's saying for the most part. This isn't a commercial-grade firearm the Chinese put out to sell, they made this to fight in a war, so I'm sure robustness and reliability was taken into consideration when they made these, even if it was en masse. You have to give the Chinese SKS some credit though, it was proven as a reliable DMR in Vietnam... Against our soldiers, perhaps, but a proven design regardless.

So if anything, they're probably worth more than what one pays for your average ChiCom SKS.

Your gun here definitely looks like it's seen some shit and shrugged it off. That's the kind of guns I like.

so fkn jealous. sexy rifle. I've always wanted an SKS

Some oddly hostile people here. I say if you're going to be shooting it, might as well refinish the stock. It's not like you're keeping it as a historical piece.

Very nice!

Can I try it out :3? i promise i wont shoot anything else but a bottle :<

Grab sks, go innawoods

Downright sexy rifle you have there~

Nice Rifle you got there. Unfortunatley you cant own these in Germany, but i got an Air-Rifle that looks pretty simmilar. "From Really far away "

dayum, the SKS I have is nearly identical except the bayonet is a glorified screwdriver XD

Welcome to the club. Grab some detachable magazines for her now~

NICE

I can't trust Chinese guns, but Russians ones are hard to find (atleast for.me) and Warsaw pact, Yugo onese are utter trash....

It'd say it's a hit or miss. Unlike Norinco commercial products made for sport shooting, these were made for wartime use, and if they're going to supply one of the largest armies in the world, may as well make them last. So I'd imagine they have some merit to them.

I own 4 yugo guns. Best guns I ever owned. Care to explain?

It looks nice. Friends have had them and liked them. Personally I will stick with my M-1 Garand.

That's a damn fine piece of a rifle.

Affordable rounds that powerful as well, it's perfect!

I got lucky and came across mine through a friend at work. He was going through a divorce so I got mine at a bargain I couldn't turn away from. Mine came with the box, the book and the tang stamps and all numbers match. Even had its original cleaning kit...not a single scratch on it. I ended up getting 300 rounds, extra bayonet, and a 100 dollar padded rifle case....I basically got an antique in prestine condition, a 100 dollar rifle case,300 rounds, 150 of them original norinco ammo, the original book and box for less than 500...I saw several on gun brokers.com and several antique fire arm dealers selling them for more than 1200 and they looked like they had been ran over by a tank...With that in mind far as the condition to value ratio they rated on theirs, i'd love to know what one in brand smacking new condition would be worth.

Well, I'm sure their value comes from the history some of them may have. Like, some of them could be bring-backs from Vietnam, as they wouldn't have import marks, and that would send their value through the roof.
It also probably would depend on where they came from too, like North Vietnamese or East German SKS rifles could fetch quite a pretty penny, with or without import marks. Now, I have seen only one listing ever for an extremely rare North Korean SKS, which ran at a starting bid of a whopping $6,000.
