Yugo M59/66 SKS Rifle  Semi automatic 7.62 x 39mm milled military rifle, veteran of the Balkan wars, with milled receiver, screwed in barrel, milled trigger group, underfolding blade bayonet, integral NATO standard 22mm grenade launcher and flip up launcher sight built right in, gas system cut off button, flip up tritium night sights (tritium has a 12-15 year life span, so most older ones have been painted over or filled in with phosphorus - some still work on the lucky few), ten round fixed magazine. Barrel: 24”, Overall: 43 3/4”. Weight: 9.15 lbs. Unissued milled Serbian SKS - RKBA: $485 These M59/66 rifles are in new, unissued condition. Carefully stored in packing grease and never issued, each rifle is a beautifully preserved example of classic European craftsmanship at its best.Fitted with an integral NATO spec. grenade launcher, flip-up grenade sight, hooded front and notched rear rifle sights and 11.5" blade bayonet. Milled and machined parts, durable hardwood furniture and condition set these SKS's apart from Chinese SKS rifles and a true bargain for the collector and sportsman alike. 
Military issue predecessor to the AK-47 rifle All "Yugos" as
they are commonly referred to are made at "Zastava" ordnance,
formerly known as "Crvena Zastava" or "Preduzece
44",
the Serbian arsenal in the town of Kragujevac (about
2 1/2 hours away from the capital Belgrade). There are no other arsenals
in Yugoslavia, though there may be other satelite locations, so if
you see a Yugo anything, it is a Zastava firearm made in Serbia.
To the
best
of
my knowledge,
all
modern Serbian
military
guns are standard with chromed bores and tritium night sights, except
the SKS, which has just the night sights. However these guns
are pretty old, and the chroming practice may not have been adopted
until
the later years (Zastava AK's as well as the Zastava 99 pistol are
all chromed). However the superior materials, milling and machining still
make this the most desirable of all the SKS'.
