:alien: here is my 59/66 yugo i found calling to me in a local pawnshop , all the parts match except the receiver cover " bubba got to it with a scope mount :big shock: , i don't need a scope cause i can shoot " LOL , but it had the nicest bore i have seen on a yugo , so i rescued it from a up coming unmerciful fate , the next bubba probably would have finished the job with the hi-cap gorrilia mag and the tapco stock full of rails and gadgets with a pistol fore grip and a barrel hacking :wow: , i just couldn't leave it to that fate , so now i am in the market for a yugo receiver cover .. :toast:

That is a nice one for sure. It looks like one of the recent imports with the accessories i have seen. Very nice stock there :vcool: :vcool:
Good save too :toast:

Nice one DS :)

I believe you're right, this one was most likely destined for a Tapco stock and AK mags. Nice save!

I look forward to your range report :toast:

Nice save, the receiver covers are interchangeable between all SKS's, so a Chinese cover would fit if found. Once and a while you can find a blank with no number stamped. It may take a small amount of fitting, but usually they drop right on.

Here is the cover if your still looking:

thats a bx 200 bass amp , its a killer bass rig , when it comes guitars/amps and like wise guns , i am a purist , i like my les paul through a marshall or fender tube amp cranked .. :biggrin:

now back to gun's , i will pick up a receiver cover somewhere , i doesn't bother me right now , seeing that i paid $250 out the door for a grade A+ yugo with a bore that looks like a mirror and all matching # except for one of course. :bwink:
