Nice rifle but put her in some nice wood for christsakes. You spent all that money and time and effort on the steel. That rifle is screaming for a presentation grade piece of figured walnut. OP, This guy is right when he says have a fat wallet and lots of time. Also, unless you have experience and tools for the build, be damn sure you pick a decent smith. I messed up my share of gunparts in my career and I'm a toolmaker. You don't want to mess up expensive/hard to come by stuff. We hve our buddy B Clinton to thank for the scarcity of M14 Accessoriesstuff. He gave it all away. Okay, So I know some of the history but perhaps you fella's and Master Differant can fill in the blanks. I'll be getting my first semiauto .308 battle rifle soon and I've narrowed my choice down too these two fine rifles. Springfield Inc M1A1 standard or DSA SA58. Why was the M14 Accessorieschosen over the FAL by the Army? -

i have a yugo m59/66 and it is a very good sks…as sks’s go, you need to try to get one unissued etc. The main problem with surplus 59/66 sks’s is the use of corrosive ammo in the gas system causing pitting and leakage. If you watch and get a unissued they run just fine.

There are recently imported Yugo’s out there for around $279. Knowing how cheap they used to be I balk at the price but I’ve never heard anything bad about them.
ETA: Just found VG Yugo 59/66s at Samco for $259 and Excellent for $299. SOG may have some on their site, I don’t have time to look right now.

I’ve had 3 different SKS’s. A type 56 Norinco, a 59/66 Yugo, and a type 45 Russian (Tula). The only one worth anything was the Russian. I sold the other 2 and kept the “52 Tula. Russian SKS’s are in the $450 – $600 range here in SW Florida. At the last fun show, July ????, a guy had a ’54 Tula for $450 that was pretty nice.
My Russian goes bang every time. It’s reliable and accurate. Save your money and get a Russian. You won’t be sorry.

The Yugo 56/66 model is ok and right now Cabelas has a bunch on sale for $199.00, but I have never been a fan of them. Now if you can score a Yugo 59, they are sweet shooters but may cost you a little more. The Russian and Romanian I think are some of the nicest out there and I just put a Russian on layaway for $319, which is a decent price, but not great. I bought it to replace my other Russian that has a mismatched mag/floorplate.
Typical russians in the midwest are going in the $400 range with Romainians in the high 3′s.
Check the equipment exchange often for deals as Christmas is coming and people will start unloading some stuff.

I had a hell of a time with mine, until I got all of the gunk out of the gas system.
After that, NOTHING stops it. It’s also reasonably accurate, for what it is. I’m perfectly happy with it.
While I’d love to buy more at prices from several years back, $250-300 is still a pretty good deal for what you’re getting. A reliable, 10 round, semi-auto rifle that is built like a tank.
