Just picked up my Yugo icon

M59 from the UPS Center. WOW! This is the SWWWWEEEEEETTTest looking gun I have seen. Purchased it from AIM, would suggest anyone looking for a PRIME SKS to add to their collection order one now while you can. This is the FIRST milsurp I have purchased that is NOT going to require a 2 week cleaning of cosmoline. This is covered with a fine coating of gun oil, that a simple wipe down will take care of in no time.
I’ll add pics later tonight after work. Untill then go order yours NOW!
Stock photo from add (mine looks better)

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Is it an M59 or just an M59/66 that has had the grenade launcher and sights removed?

**fn111557** · 09-08-2011 06:39 AM

It's one of the newer, made from parts, for export, M59. Not the original first run M59, but good enough for me.

This thing definitely started life as a 59/66. front end is a dead giveaway.

From what I have seen the current SKS's seem to be "better" than previous lots. Like all I think the Russians were smart selling off the lower quality guns first and now much better quality rebuilds seem to be showing up.

Here are the results of my trip to the range yesterday.
