Been searching pawn shops for an M44 carbine and today I ran across a carbine but it was not an M44. Instead it was a very nice Yugo SKS. I put it on lay away and snapped a few pics with my iphone. This has all matching numbers, very clean bore, rifiling looks great, stock is nice and clean with no breaks or splits, and it even has the grenade launcher attached. All in all a very pretty carbine.

Nice! Good choice.can't wait to see more picts when you get home

Nice tt You will love it. Is there a gun in that foto?

Well the iphone is not the best camera out there. Once I get it home there will be better lice.

they are good rifles and i need to shoot mine sometime,have not shot it in 4-5 years.

Hey way to go. Some of us here wear glasses so we'll wait for the BIG pictures

I forgot all about the lay-away plan. I remember my Mom using Law-Away at K-Mart in the 70's before Christmas

My kindle fire likes to spell for me so I had to go back and correct the "lice" to photos

a well built model of the SKS Carbine with the grenade launcher and beefy stock its heavy but you can hold it on target easier and its very rugged. Be sure to clean it well including the gas tube every time you shoot it. Be careful with ammo you use saying it is non corrosive treat all that stuff as if it is corrosive.

Nice rifle, I just got one a few weeks ago. I really like it. How much is it going for?

Yea how much?

Mine was just over 300 out the door. Premium price but it is a sweet carbine. Cant wait to get it home so I can get pictures up.

Don't feel bad that's about what they go for from a store now. I got mine from Widener's for $309 plus about $11 shipping and $5 FFL. If you got one like the one I got the stock is like new and the barrel was replaced during refurb. I really like this one.

Oh I don't feel bad ... I am glad I bought it but I would have bought it cheaper last year.. maybe it'll be worth more in a year or so.

$300 is what I paid for mine last fall in excellent condition a m59-66.Yea its heavy but you can dry your socks on the grenade launcher. JGC

Around $200 for mine I think, that was five years back.

I have trouble getting the 30 round magazine to do right sometimes. I wonder if its just not meant to be for the SKS JGC

Yeah last year there was a bunch of Yugos for as little as $169 around the net. Cabela's had sales on them but some were very rough from what I hear. Some where sweet.
