Default Yugoslavian SKS Model 59/66.

This is an original Model 59/66 with all matching numbers. I was the original purchaser, and I bought it as an unissued rifle. This version of the SKS has a grenade launcher with an additional sight for launching grenades, and a button to turn off the gas system for grenade launching. Use of this system requires special grenade launching cartridges (without a projectile). I have no grenades, but I have seen YouTube videos on how to construct dummy grenades (non-exploding) you can launch just for grins. The rifle also has flip-up front and rear night sights which MAY have been luminescent at one time, but no longer glow. The bayonet, grenade launcher and sight are removable; should you want to customize the gun.
Barrel is 21" long. Although the stock is often called "Teak", I have been told that it is actually beech wood. It is attractive, nevertheless and looks a bit like oak grain. The rifle is in excellent used condition, showing only markings from being periodically cleaned at the arsenal where it was stored. I have fired around 250 rounds through it. Metal is very good and blueing is excellent. Asking $430 shipped to your FFL within the mainland USA. NOTE: Please be sure that you will be legally able to own this firearm in your home state. No shipments to New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, or California.
As usual, payment by US Postal money order. PM me with any questions. Post "I'll take it" if you want to commit to purchase and I will hold it pending payment.
Thanks!
