68 Yugo SKS 59/66

[JohnFH]

Seems like SKS's are getting popular, this is my addition.
A 1968 Yugo 59/66, Unissued, appears to be unfired, all numbers match and I would rate it as 99%. Still have cosmo to finish removing.

Yep.

That's the best wood on the Yugos, IMO. I think the other woods used were ash and an African variant...... I think??? But the beech looks nice on that one, JohnFH!

Just beech and Elm from what I always heard.

 

[martin08]

Ah, yes. Elm and not ash.

But the African wood (of which I can't recall the name) is a theory as well.

Here's a reference.
