Cool.

You'll enjoy it.
Looks to be about the same condition as mine.

Here's another pic of mine.

I got it at Riggles Gap Gun Shop for $149.95 in cash. If you pay there with a credit card, they add 5%.

Very nice. Sounds like you got a pretty good price too. Maybe I need to think about adding an SKS to my collection now too.

Yea, even though I haven't been able to get out and shoot it yet (stupid central PA snow and cold!), I had a really good time this past weekend taking it apart and cleaning it piece by piece, then putting it all back together again and having it cycle smooth as butter.

Can't beat the price either, on both rifle and ammo (even though 7.62x39 isn't as cheap as it once was, it's still a lot cheaper than most other standards).

I dismissed them as "useless" for years until I started looking for a low priced rifle to shoot at my club.

I got lucky when Dunham's had the Day after Thanksgiving sale and the "collector grade" (their term) models were on sale for $119/$129 (I forget).
I can tell you that after stripping/cleaning/shooting, I would not hesitate to purchase another when the "gun fund" looks better. If I had paid $250, It STILL would have been a good value in my opinion!
Heck, I paid $139 for my Hi-Point carbine two years ago and after picking up the SKS, I have to think hard to REMEMBER I have the Hi-Point!


Go get one. You won't regret it.
As was posted elsewhere, the Yugos will go up in price as the current supply dries up. Dunham's had tons of them here for months, but for the past month or so I've only seen the few beat up ones that are left.
