I have been looking for a Yugo ADVICE: YUGO SKS which are hard to come by here in Califonia because you can not own one with a Grenade Launcher. They get around this by either drilling holes in the launcher to make it into a muzzle break, replace it with a fabricated Muzzle Brake, or a solid chunk of metal to keep it 922R compliant.
The one I found they took a bit further, rather then screw the new Muzzle Brake on and repin it, they partially welded it in place, maybe 40%~50% around the barrel. (see pictures below)
I'm torn on this one I have been searching for a Yugo SKS for a while, this one is $500.00, since I can't own a grenade launcher in CA, it doesn't bother me to have a muzzle break as long as everything else is there. What worries me is the welding of it to the barrel, this has had to have compromised the metal, you can see that the weld is well done, meaning the weld is deep. Don't know if it worth $500.00 with the weld either.
Would love to hear your thoughts as a point of reference Yugo go for $700.00 to $1200.00 here in California.
Thank you in advance
Bill
