Which tech sights do you prefer?
yes that does help.mac, those look nice and keep the more traditional lines of the sks, but one of the pluses of the TS to me, is the much longer sight radius.
Which tech sights do you prefer? The slightly cheaper two aperture flip sight, or the single aperture elevation adjustable type? Both are the same diameter and same windage adjustment.

Where should I be looking around for an SKS in the 400$ range. I'd love to pick one up a little range fun. Thanks.Happy day, my C&R license has finally arrived. I know the golden era is over, but I'm still interested.
Thinking about an SKS, and noticed that REDACTED has Yugo M59/66 back in stock. Based on pics and reviews, these are usually pretty good quality. Lightly used, well stored millsurp.
Anyone have any strong opinions about these compared to other SKS? For ~$400, it seems like one of the better deals available in the current markets.
Opinions much appreciated!

great idea, thanksTell your LGS owner what you are looking for and how much you want to spend. They may get something in and call you first.
Hey. It could happen...
I put just the rear Tech sight on my 59/66 and it is SO much better now. And it doesn't alter anything permanently, just save the parts and put them back on later.
My Yugo M57 had a safety added unfortunately.Now you NEED a Yugo M57 Tokarev to go with it dammit. No funky add on safety on the Yugos unlike the imported T33s.

FWIW, I like the Tech Sights a lot, but I couldn't use one on my Yugo 59/66 without cutting the retaining bit off of the rear housing pin. Did yours not go together that way, or is there some sneaky way to get the pin entirely out that I couldn't figure out? (Which reminds me, I still have the sight (TS200) somewhere despite getting out of the SKS business. Look for it in the member classifieds soon if I can find it!)
I don't remember having to cut anything on mine but it was a couple of years ago. I know I kept the original parts so I could restore it if I wanted to.
I,have bent cut and twisted usgi web sling hooks to fit just about everythingI guess I've just gotten used to the Eastern Bloc sights between AKs, Mosins, and SKS etc. They've never really given me a problem at 100yds. The majority of my rifles utilize them. Do I like them better than an M1's sights? No, but I don't mind them.
The SKS without modification doesn't really sport a shooting sling. If I recall, mac trimmed down a USGI websling to work.

I have a chinese SKS and love it, I'm not a big fan of the grenade launcher on the yugo's. The trigger on my SKS was awful but I sent the trigger assembly to this guy who made it pretty darn nice:
SKS triggers, improve the safety of the SKS carbines
I was out at the Berlin Cabela's today and they have a metric short ton of 59/66 SKSs for sale from $499-550. Various conditions from used to excellent. They are all missing the bayo though but otherwise complete. They also had a ton of M48 and Chilean 1895 mausers
