Very nice! The stock has some really good looking grain to it. I just picked one up from AIM back in December and couldn't be happier with it. Hope yours shoots as good as it looks!

Nice :Drool1: I need to get off my bum and get one of these real nice, fine looking refurbs. I got my first Yugoslavian in '98 and it was anything but refurbed, looked like they picked it up off the ground, boxed it up and imported it. :lol:

Our advertizer SOG has unissued Yugo's for $419. They come with the arsenal books. I have seen them and they are really nice.

I shot it yesterday for the first time and saw the need for a sight tool. Didn't think about the bayonet being fixed. Will try that next time out.

First 5 shots were all over, then it, or more likely I, settled in. But I need the sight tool for a small adjustment.
