Knowing how cheap they used to be I balk at the price but I’ve never heard anything bad about them. ETA: Just found VG Yugo 59/66s at Samco for $259 and Excellent for $299. SOG may have some on their site, I don’t have time to look right now. Master Sergeant Steven E.

A type 56 Norinco, a 59/66 Yugo, and a type 45 Russian (Tula). The only one worth anything was the Russian. I sold the other 2 and kept the “52 Tula. Russian SKS’s are in the $450 – $600 range here in SW Florida. At the last fun show, July ????, a guy had a ’54 Tula for $450 that was pretty nice. My Russian goes bang every time. It’s reliable and accurate. Save your money and get a Russian. You won’t be sorry.

Now if you can score a Yugo 59, they are sweet shooters but may cost you a little more. The Russian and Romanian I think are some of the nicest out there and I just put a Russian on layaway for $319, which is a decent price, but not great. I bought it to replace my other Russian that has a mismatched mag/floorplate. Typical russians in the midwest are going in the $400 range with Romainians in the high 3′s. Check the equipment exchange often for deals as Christmas is coming and people will start unloading some stuff.

SOG may have some on their site, I don’t have time to look right now. I had a hell of a time with mine, until I got all of the gunk out of the gas system. After that, NOTHING stops it. It’s also reasonably accurate, for what it is. I’m perfectly happy with it. While I’d love to buy more at prices from several years back, $250-300 is still a pretty good deal for what you’re getting. A reliable, 10 round, semi-auto rifle that is built like a tank.
