@sold1ier there is no real differance between the Russian SKS and the yugoslavian SKS , but for one exception . The Russian is manufactured by tula armory it has the Russian star sykle and syth on the recoil spring cover . The yugoslavian has all the Russian features except for the black bayonet and the stamp , stock color and so on . Idk withc versions are Chrome lined barrle , but the yugoslavian is not . I own the yugoslavian it has the NATO spec grenade launcher with blade bayonet and 10 mag

Hi, I live in California and I was wondering if the Russian SKS is also legal in California. I know the Yugo SKS is legal because whenever I look up for a gun recommendation in California, people always say "Go with the Yugo SKS"

I just wish these Yugos had chrome-lined barrels...but oh well. Probably doesn't matter as long as you stay away from corrosive ammo and clean each time.
I have a couple questions for ya, I'm thinking about getting one of these and I was wondering how difficult it is to remove all the cosmoline from it? also, are these Yugoslavian rifles easily able to replace with different stocks? I'm fairly new to the sks field so please bear with me. Thanks!

@chitown1966 You're welcome. My buddy just bought a 1955 Russian SKS for $200. Lightly used. He just ordered 1120 rounds on stripper clips for $259 on Frontier Firearms.ca. I don't think it is corrosive, but they do have some corrosive ammo in 1200 for $10 more. Just put vinegar or Windex down the barrel after shooting corrosive ammo.
@chitown1966 Just type "frontier firearms 7.62x39 fmj" into Google and a link to an 800-round box shows up. Click "previous" on the top right and there are also crates of 500 for $149, 1120 for $259, and corrosive 1200-round crates for $269. This is the cheapest per round I've seen, but it never much more than that. Good luck
holly cow in 2009 you said $300-$350 I just bought my yugo for $225 at a pawn shop out the door...the stock is old and alltitle darker..but hey might as well pick up another 3 or 4
i got mine for $169 best deal ever (new in the box) the guy said that this is the best condition hes has ever seen for an sks. The only problem is that everthing is extreamly stiff (normal for a new gun) but other than that best $169 i ever spent.
PS: when i mean new i dont littearly mean new i mean it was stored and packed away for a while.
Sootch my brother! Just picked up a yugo sks on Saturday. Cabelas has them on special this week. 199.99 and 20 off ontop of that via coupon! Very pumped! I just finished cleaning the cosmoline out of it today. Video posted of its condition upon buying. Thanks for all the sks vids!!
@airzorne yes they still sell Serbian CZ99 and TT pistol, rifles we have the Yugo SKS 59, 59/66, 59/66A1 with night sights, also we have the yugo AK parks kit and already built versions
i got one of these for 250.mine though has obviosly seen combat use.it has a arsenal replacment barrel.no import marks. arsenal marked front site that is perfect.yours in this video is a unissued m59/66a1 rifle.the only bad thing with these rifles i have found is that used rifles like mine have a bad gas valve that leeks.you can get a over sized brand new though to fix this for 20 bucks from murrays.
@oray25 Yeah its really easy, if I remember right all I had to do was remove a screw, but the mount stays on and you would have to cut it off to remove the mount. But I would never permanently alter my SKS it is in good condition.
@Joseapari I have a Yugo that has 3 different names carved into the original wooden stock. I've sinced replaced it with a Tapco folding stock. Not sure what the names mean.
@thegreatkurt2013 Tito, Josip and Enoz. I've read some about this and I found that rifles that were actually issued to Serbian soldiers, it was common for them to carve their names or symbols or whatever into the stocks.
@bornrider7 like your rifles...hate your cars. i just bought a yugo for $400 cash. a bit high but it did come with a cheap ass scope and 200 rounds on stripper clips. new in box never fired. he had another one that was one serial number off if i had the money i would of bought it too. and never fired that one. this is my second sks i bought my first one a chinese one for $75. it was ugly but accurate. and this one is BEAUTIFULLY made. ima clean it now so i can shoot it hehe
do you know of any sites thatwould ha ve a quality yugo for 300 or less im really looking to buy one and upgrade it with the tapco 922r c. kit... so i would like to keep the budget down..but in the end i just want one no matter what....thanks.
I have the exact same one with the grenade sights, bayonette and everything, just doesnt have the 3 dot sights and its in "not so great" condition....but it still shoots like a dream :)
Yugoslav rifles have always been better quality than Russia's. Yugoslavia has an unbelievable amount of chrome, gold, silver, nickel, copper, and one of the strengths steel in the world, I think Zastava didn't have the equipment to chrome bore.
@sootch. you are right about the most things you say, but one thing. the yugo sks is not hte last sks made. Albania used to make sks till 1970-1975, very good quality too and with 20 rds mag. you can search on google for that
I just bought a Yugo M59 SKS (the earliest Yugo SKS without the grenade launcher). Samco Global is (was?) selling them for $399 in "new condition" including the usual extras you get with Eastern Bloc weapons (sling, ammo pouch, oil can, etc.). I don't know if mine was unissued or re-arsenaled, but it is in GORGEOUS condition.
Have you shot the M59? Do you find it as accurate as the Soviet SKS? Unlike the M59/66 you don't see the M59 around much. - Mike
The only down fall to this vesion is the barrel is not chrome lined and if you do not keep it lubricated is prone to rust and pitting internally. but yes it is the sturdiest and best built of all SKS's I have 2 in prime un-issued condition one with a teak stock and the other with beechwood. each has a grenade launcher but one launcher is ported the other is not. One also has tritium nightsights that still has a faint glow ( original...yes).
Sr. how do you get the stock to look so clean like that I'm about to get the Yugo and looking for tips on stock cleaning and such, I've heard mineral spirits are good what do you think?
When i put my selector on semi auto where the gas valve is it still fires like a bolt action and i have to manually chamber each round.. whats wrong with it?
@BlackSabbath1204 The SKS comes with a 10-round internal magazine. For a 75 round drum, you'd have to make it capable of taking external mags first (I don't know how legal that is in your state).
Had a Yugo m55/66 and it was an excellent rifle if a bit heavy and long. Regrettably, I sold it. Mine had a teak-wood stock with an oil finish as opposed to beechwood with varnish.. More accurate than any AK type rifle and excellent machined receiver and high quality workmanship.
Yes, the GL does come off and for Calif, you have to weld a muzzle break onto it to rid the gun of the treads. I also read 7 have been told that the GL can be welded on to pass Calif legal muster. It's not the GL that's the issue, it's the threaded barrel end. Several sellers will do this for you, tho more don't wish to deal with Calif in any way.
Just got one of these, WAY better made then any of the Chinese made ones I have owned, chrome bore or not. More accurate, milled most everything, a top quality made piece and made from harder metal then the Chinese or Russian made ones. Ok, early Russian ones are a close equal, the later ones got cheaper, softer metals wear faster... The Yugo has none of this. A+++
I have a Norinco that i bought back when you could get them for $59.95. has vrey good grouping(impruved slightly when Istarted reloading for it) and functions flawlessly. Dont know how many rounds I've put through it, safe guess around 2500.
Is there any way that the grenade attachment can be taken off. I live in Cali and like everything else they are illegal felony. Dont have one yet but wanted to get the yugo. Any info?
@jjvoodoo there are california legal versions of the yugo sks where the importer converts the grenade launcher into a muzzle brake. check Century arms they may have some CA legal ones left.
@jjvoodoo you can take it to a gun smith to get it taken off, or you can search for one of the rare yugo models( sorry can think of the name) that dosent have it, or just buy a diffrent model, try a russian made one, decent price, and not nade launcher
@jjvoodoo you can buy them straight out of stock now that they have been released from the yugo stockpile. i know someone that bought the same one and was able to buy pass any laws on the bayonet as well as the grenade launcher since it was not bought in the us and because it is an original piece straight out of surplus so it not considered an assault weapon yet by the federal gov. this guy went over the rifle really well.
@jjvoodoo I live in California and I'm about to buy a Yugo Sks. What they did to make it California compliant was to remove the the launcher, and replace it with a muzzle break. We have a lot of "interesting" laws. Haha. Happy shooting!
@jjvoodoo Hey dude they're legal in cali. I live here too and they sell them just like this at Big 5. as long as its semi auto, 5 rounds mag, and doesnt actually have the launcher they wont give you any problems. the grenade bracket is not legally different than a set of dove tails.
@jjvoodoo just bought my SKS here the land of fruits and nuts (california) and you have to have a sleeve WELDED over the launcher part to make them legal. Weak.
@jjvoodoo Yes you can remove it by knocking out the small bolt that is located on the botom side of the granade launcher attachment. Than you need a wrench to unscrew it. It has a normal thread, not like the left thread like ak47 does. But you will damage the granede launcher by doing so. Sometimes the granede launcher won't come off normaly and you'll have to use a flamer to heat the muzzle up.
I personally think that it's not a good idea, you should leve it on, or modify it into a compensator.
@jjvoodoo dude they are not illegal i live in CA too and they sell yugo sks with the grenade launcher at my local big 5. but then i also live in a kinda small town, you must live in LA county?
@BloodthirstyGnome hahaha...I do live in L.A. County. How did you guess. Thank you for the info though. I read that they were illegal in some unofficial forum. I wasn't positive on that. Thanks again.
@jjvoodoo Big 5 often has ones that are "California legal" for sale, imported by Century Arms, at around $389-$399; check the weekly ad. The only difference is that instead of the grenade launcher, they have a muzzle brake. Purist collectors will be horrified, but if you're not worried about reselling it, then get it. The one I bought was in near-perfect condition, with minimal cosmoline. It came with a strap, but no cleaning kit in the butt trap door. Loads of fun!
It's sounds to me like the yugo is your favorite version? they're all good solid guns, my best friend just bought a ruskie yesterday, in great condition, and it fires very nicely, no jams or slam fires, and we didn't even clean it yet.
@psychoclown420 I've never fired an SKS that didn't function flawlessly. Yugos are excellent weapons but my personal favorite is my Russian. My original Chinese is also quality rifle. All SKS's are quality rifles and just plain work unless they are in need of repair. I also have a review of the Russian SKS. Thanks~
I changed mine to a folding stock cut off the G-launchpad and long knife platform-added a spring loaded firing pin and 20 rnd Tapco mags. It's only 7 lbs and runs like a champ.
Thats just like my yugo SKS I love it. Just finished cleaning all the cosmo off it. its just as clean as yours but it had some rust on the mag and bolt carrier but I got all of it off and put new bluing onit.
it was a tought choice between a chinese sks and an unissued-new condition 91/30 mosin nagant. i chose the mosin as there are alot of cheap chinese sks's out there at the moment, so chose the piece of ww2 history. another major selling point what the rounds they use, my goodness! i cant wait to take that puppy out. the sks will have to be my second gun i think.
i have a chinese SKS with a black folding stock and pistol grip handle with a red dot sight flash hider and the bayonet which i put back on i did have a bi pod but meh didnt like it
if yoll like the sks go to madmikeweapons i saw his yugo sks review like 10 min ago and its the best ive seen

scorpionsoul2003 1 year ago
i live in california and you can still buy a yugo. they come with holes drilled in the grenade launcher i asume it does not make it functional.
scorpionsoul2003 1 year ago
@scorpionsoul2003 If the holes are around the end it is a "ported" model and IS fully functional!

IS it possible to get a 75 round drum mag for the sks?
BlackSabbath1204 1 year ago
@BlackSabbath1204 The SKS comes with a 10-round internal magazine. For a 75 round drum, you'd have to make it capable of taking external mags first (I don't know how legal that is in your state).

Had a Yugo m55/66 and it was an excellent rifle if a bit heavy and long. Regrettably, I sold it. Mine had a teak-wood stock with an oil finish as opposed to beechwood with varnish.. More accurate than any AK type rifle and excellent machined receiver and high quality workmanship.

Sparks00psn 1 year ago
Yes, the GL does come off and for Calif, you have to weld a muzzle break onto it to rid the gun of the treads. I also read 7 have been told that the GL can be welded on to pass Calif legal muster. It's not the GL that's the issue, it's the threaded barrel end. Several sellers will do this for you, tho more don't wish to deal with Calif in any way.
PupSterNH 1 year ago
Just got one of these, WAY better made then any of the Chinese made ones I have owned, chrome bore or not. More accurate, milled most everything, a top quality made piece and made from harder metal then the Chinese or Russian made ones. Ok, early Russian ones are a close equal, the later ones got cheaper, softer metals wear faster... The Yugo has none of this. A+++

I have a Norinco that i bought back when you could get them for $59.95. has vrey good grouping(impruved slightly when Istarted reloading for it) and functions flawlessly. Dont know how many rounds I've put through it, safe guess around 2500.

Sparks00psn 1 year ago
@jjvoodoo there are california legal versions of the yugo sks where the importer converts the grenade launcher into a muzzle brake. check Century arms they may have some CA legal ones left.
GrizzlyGunsmith99 1 year ago
@jjvoodoo you can take it to a gun smith to get it taken off, or you can search for one of the rare yugo models( sorry can think of the name) that dosent have it, or just buy a diffrent model, try a russian made one, decent price, and not nade launcher
theillusionist6677 1 year ago
@jjvoodoo if you go to big 5 they sell the exact rifle but they cut the grenade launcher off and put a muzzle break on it
BurroBurrito1 1 year ago
@jjvoodoo you can buy them straight out of stock now that they have been released from the yugo stockpile. i know someone that bought the same one and was able to buy pass any laws on the bayonet as well as the grenade launcher since it was not bought in the us and because it is an original piece straight out of surplus so it not considered an assault weapon yet by the federal gov. this guy went over the rifle really well.
BubbaGump0722 1 year ago
@jjvoodoo I live in California and I'm about to buy a Yugo Sks. What they did to make it California compliant was to remove the the launcher, and replace it with a muzzle break. We have a lot of "interesting" laws. Haha. Happy shooting!
XLedZeppZoSoX 1 year ago
@jjvoodoo Hey dude they're legal in cali. I live here too and they sell them just like this at Big 5. as long as its semi auto, 5 rounds mag, and doesnt actually have the launcher they wont give you any problems. the grenade bracket is not legally different than a set of dove tails.
toscanomichelle 1 year ago
@jjvoodoo just bought my SKS here the land of fruits and nuts (california) and you have to have a sleeve WELDED over the launcher part to make them legal. Weak.

@oopablo ny is cruddy like that too im sure i can't get an sks here.
TheGarbear14 1 year ago
@jjvoodoo Yes you can remove it by knocking out the small bolt that is located on the botom side of the granade launcher attachment. Than you need a wrench to unscrew it. It has a normal thread, not like the left thread like ak47 does. But you will damage the granede launcher by doing so. Sometimes the granede launcher won't come off normaly and you'll have to use a flamer to heat the muzzle up.
I personally think that it's not a good idea, you should leve it on, or modify it into a compensator.

kullas924 1 year ago
@jjvoodoo Big 5 often has ones that are "California legal" for sale, imported by Century Arms, at around $389-$399; check the weekly ad. The only difference is that instead of the grenade launcher, they have a muzzle brake. Purist collectors will be horrified, but if you're not worried about reselling it, then get it. The one I bought was in near-perfect condition, with minimal cosmoline. It came with a strap, but no cleaning kit in the butt trap door. Loads of fun!
mattgilbreth 10 months ago
@jjvoodoo You can get it removed before brining it into the state and replace it with a functional muzzle brake that looks very similar to the GL.
drbudro 10 months ago
It's sounds to me like the yugo is your favorite version? they're all good solid guns, my best friend just bought a ruskie yesterday, in great condition, and it fires very nicely, no jams or slam fires, and we didn't even clean it yet.
psychoclown420 1 year ago
@psychoclown420 I've never fired an SKS that didn't function flawlessly. Yugos are excellent weapons but my personal favorite is my Russian. My original Chinese is also quality rifle. All SKS's are quality rifles and just plain work unless they are in need of repair. I also have a review of the Russian SKS. Thanks~
sootch00 1 year ago
@sootch00 Yeah, i think all the bad rep is probably from anti-gun groups. The only reason it should slam fire is if you never ever clean it

I changed mine to a folding stock cut off the G-launchpad and long knife platform-added a spring loaded firing pin and 20 rnd Tapco mags. It's only 7 lbs and runs like a champ.

it was a tought choice between a chinese sks and an unissued-new condition 91/30 mosin nagant. i chose the mosin as there are alot of cheap chinese sks's out there at the moment, so chose the piece of ww2 history. another major selling point what the rounds they use, my goodness! i cant wait to take that puppy out. the sks will have to be my second gun i think.
