Got out today with my Yugo SKS and was very impressed with the rifle. I was shooting Golden Tiger with no issues at 50 yards. Here is the grouping after I got settled in with it. The SKS is very manageable compared to some early Mosins. Very happy I added it to the collection.

I love SKSs. They are fun, used to be cheap and still legal in CT. Can we get some pics of the gun? I am assuming you are shooting a 59/66 or 59/66a1? If you have the older M59 without the grenade launcher and night sights you have a really nice SKS, almost identical to the original Russians except non of the Yugos have the chrome lined barrel. Some folks say that makes them more accurate, not sure, maybe. Some say it just means you have to clean the bore better, especially if you use corrosive ammo. That part is true. M67 Yugo milsurp ammo is some of the best out there but it is corrosive. It's not a big deal but just be extra careful to clean your rifle as soon as you can when shooting anything corrosive.
chrome bores just last longer.... not that chromed bore cant be accurate but chroming a already accurate barrel would IMHO would lessen that accuracy. Chrome lining does 2 things wears a little less and can withstand the environment better.
SKS are good for minute of man. As they where intended. If they where supposed to be "accurate" I think the sights would be better.

My '52 as-issued Russian and my SKS sporter with a regular SKS stock I fitted to it (I hated the thumbhole stock the Sporter came with).
A little better shot of the wood on the Russian
Playing around with some bubba mods to the Sporter. I needed the rail extension for the laser/light combo to have room for my off hand. It is different now, I put an angled fore grip on it with the laser/light right in front of that instead of sticking out as far as it did before. I just play around with different configurations on that one.

Minute of pumpkin at 200.
The accuracy of a yugo sks with iron sights alone in unbelievable.
Properly cleaned and good ammo will get you there.
Can't imagine what a good scope properly mounted would bring in the group's #s
Wolf is good stuff.
All that with a gritty long pull.

Yup, Golden Tiger is great stuff and Martin is very, very knowledgeable about SKSs and lots of milsurps and other guns.
Nice pics guys, I love seeing those SKSs! I had several pass through my hands but the Russian and the Sporter are the two I've kept and plan to keep. Chinese SKSs are great too and Yugos as well if you keep that gas system clean. If I ever get another SKS I think I'd like a Yugo M59 but I have lots of other things on my list first, like college for two kids, one starting this fall.![[hmmm]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/009.gif "Hmm [hmmm]")

I moved from MA to CT over a year ago. The fact that CT has banned a whole bunch of rifles means the SKS is my top choice for my first rifle. It will have to wait a while as I wait for my C&R renewal and CT permit. How much is a reasonable amount to pay for a Yugo SKS?
Thanks, jpm. I hope plenty of those unissued yugos were imported and there still around in a few months because it will be months before I get my CT license if they function at the same pace as Mass. The atf called a few weeks back and I was sure I was going to get an inspection of my huge collection of 1 c&r gun but it turns out they just wanted to mail me a renewal form for my c&r license. They rekindled my interest in collecting haha.
