Thinking about getting a Yugo SKS... Looking for any minus... Yeah Non-chromed but is that a bug deal if I keep the rifle clean and oiled..

The Mosin isn't chromed in the bore, neither is the M Garand and most other military rifles. Clean it properly and there is no problem.

Weight & gas valve issues are the only negatives that I can think of. I shoot mainly off of a bench so the weight doesn't bother me a bit & I actually like it more than my Russian SKS. The gas valve can leak but a replacement runs about $20 and is a drop in fix.

Needs total disassembled and cleaning.. Have a Murray firing pin coming as well.
