Just showin off my early Samco import M59.

Hey -

My first time back on here in a while...already showed the MO marked Tula 91/30 I got today, might as well post up the SKS I got a couple weeks ago.

This is my early matching numbers Samco import Yugo M59. Probably the nicest condition SKS I've had the pleasure of seeing in person, and I consider myself fortunate to own it. Looks practically unissued. Bore & innards are sparkling. It's a heck of a shooter too, it very much surprised me with its' accuracy. The previous owner actually had the firing pin modification done by Murray's gunsmithing in Texas, presumably to eliminate any potential for slam-fires. No complaints from me.





In all, I got that SKS, and 1,710 rounds of assorted 7.62x39 (including boxes of that supposed steel-core armor-piercing Norinco ammo from the early 90s, and an unopened Chinese spam can) for $550. Couldn't pass it up.



I actually sold the '56 Tula SKS "letter gun" I picked up a couple weeks earlier to fund the purchase of the Yugo. Here's a picture of the Tula (which was in ok shape with no bayonet, and no amount of sight adjusting could get it to stop shooting to the right by a large amount) Not terribly upset by the loss, because my friend has a '54 Tula that's in excellent condition that he said he'd sell to me at any time for $350.



Anyways, thanks for reading.

Couple of nice rifles. I've only shoot my Yugo once so far but it was fairly accurate too. I love military weapons. How could you not. Thanks for posting these.

Oh yeah, now you're talking. I think this needs to be a SKS weekend at the range. I have a refurbed 51 Tula and a Yugo 59/66 a1. These are amazing shooters. Yours of course is a beauty.

that is a really clean example of a M59 which actually is a collectors item. if you want to preserve that Chinese spam can take a putty knife that is stiff and use the corner to puncture the back of the can in the center. Then get the edge of the putty knife in the hole you made and with a hammer cut a square large enough to get the ammo out of the bottom. Makes for a nice display piece. Bythe way for your info 550 rd cans are in stripper clips 720 rd cans are in paper bundles.

Thanks for the info. And here I was looking to buy stripper clips.
