Yugoslavian 59/66 SKS

[Terry G]

I'm heading out to a Gun Show and thought I would sell one of my Yugo SKS's. I bought it years ago in a "Crate" sale. I'm thinking $600.00, No rust, or dings, pretty much new except for 20 rounds put through it to zero it at 100 yards. Too much? Too little, what do you think?

 

[Rule3]

Sounds about right to me. I had the same gun, all matching, wish I had not sold it.
Took me a week to get all the Cosmoline off and out of the wood.

 

[bernie]

That is the one SKS that I wish I had bought when they brought them in and they were cheap.

I think you might do ok. You could always post it here.

 

[Derek Wildstar]

It will definitely sell at $600.

But in the apparent condition $700-$750 IMHO is still in the fair range. Especially considering there are no shipping costs and the buyer gets the opportunity to examine the rifle in person and take it home with him (or her) the same day.

 

[Megawatt maker]

I have one of those too..I also wish I had bought the whole crate when I had the chance...along with a crate of Norincos about a decade before that too...lol

I paid $800 for mine last year. But it's very nice

In my opinion 600 is what is reasonable -but you may get 7. Market may be a bit soft because even at the height of the pandemic there was cheap Russian ammo with no end in sight. Now that’s a bit less certain.

 

[Ignition Override]

With financial sanctions for Future importing of Russian ammo (among other reasons), semi-autos chambered in 7.62x39 and especially the somewhat-doomed 5.45x39 could be at a major discount in a year or two.

The discounts of WBP Fox and ZPAP rifles were Already down about 25% --last fall (October)-- as a consequence of the State Dept. announcement last August.
....Takes too long to repeat all of that....

Notice that this was long Before the war. Most people still probably ignore the advice to buy at least one case of ammo Before acquiring a gun in a new (to them) chambering.

Been watching prices rise.
I see sporterized Jap Type 99 rifle go for $650
Mosin 91/30 for $800 and up.
Chinese Sks's for $600 and up.
Russian Sks's for $1100 and up.
If your Yugo is in pretty good shape you could most likely squeeze some more out of it.
With Biden its a sellers market.

 

[BigBlue 94]

Ask 750, go no lower than 600.

I prize my '57 Romanian. Its one of the last ten they would pry from my cold dead fingers. Got it and a case of ammo for under 300 back in the day.

 

[WhoMe?]

I would pay $600 for it in a heartbeat. Which means that's definitely too low.

 

[AK Hunter]

I like my Yugo SKS more than the normal SKS because I can launch practice grenades using blanks.

They were right around there at the Show of Shows in Louisville last month
