Cabella's has these for sale for $399. Are they any good??? I looked at one Saturday and It looked well put together. Anything I should be wary of????
Conditions of those are pretty bad. Occasionally a few ok ones pop up. They are from the Balkan conflict, very popular with Albanians.Might check into these before buying a 59/66. No useless grenade launcher. The Chinese really made some of the best too.

I got one at a gun show in Gonzales La about 15 years ago, $200 brand new beneath the cosmoline. Very well put together, very solid gun. I recently had the firing pin go, got blown back (I've read they do that sometimes), easy replacement.Cabella's has these for sale for $399. Are they any good???

I own both a Chinese in good shape, and a Yugo in good shape. Personally, I would prefer the Yugo, although the Chinese is nice.Might check into these before buying a 59/66. No useless grenade launcher. The Chinese really made some of the best too.

It's about on par with the 556 as far as practical distance is concerned. It has a bigger arch but is effective out to 400 yardsThe SKS is a good stopper. The cartridge is only good for a couple hundred yards, but it has a larger thump than 5.56.
