Yugo sks "good cracked stock" from century

[vellocet]

Has anyone bought one these yugo sks I see Century selling? They just dropped the price to less than 240. Good condition cracked stock? Anyone with experience with this? The reason I ask is because I have always wanted to "bubba" the crap out of a rifle and these yugo sks would be about perfect. I already have the receiver cover scope mount and will go from there. Plastic stocks, removeable mags, who knows? Why not, the model is already bubba'd, as far as I'm concerned, out of the box. Thanks for any input.

I suspect the stock were cracked from shooting grenades during the Yugoslav War. Launching a grenade has some serious recoil. Watch a video: Yugoslavian SKS launching grenade - Battlefield (youtube). Notice he didn't put the stock to his shoulder? That would crack the stock.

If this is the case, the metal should be OK.

I have sold a few of them, all the ones I had were cracked at the wrist area. Should just be cosmetic.
