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.
