Looks good! I think the best part is that you kept the wood stock.
For some reason I like the orig stock better then the plastic ones.
 
yeah i had a tapco on it but it just felt front heavy

the yugo stock just feels great in my hands
feels really balanced
 
Interesting, (to me at least) how painting the stock black,and adding a 20 rd mag, changed its "persona". Wonder what a Winc. 94 would look like black?





Ooops, and ...yes I like it, too!

I was thinking the exact same thing...if you squint it looks suspiciously like an M1A...
 
almost the same ; flash hider , bayonet lug/front sight, detachable mag,barrel cover,...interesting catch, guys.

Look at the third photo closer, it has a OEM Yugo SKS next to it.
 
its a romainian Post ban that i threaded my self back when the ban was lifted

i just recently re-coated it with AHII semi-gloss

and like that i got the desired affect that i wanted which is close to the russian finishes that i see and like

I know some do not like "bubba'd" guns, but if its yours, then have at--

Yours looks nice BTW-- Good job!
 
whats SKS rescue Storm?

Just kidding around. It is a reference to my recent thread about un-Bubba'ing an SKS. All kidding aside, I'm for folks doing what makes them happy and even if it isn't my thing I can appreciate a job well done and a good result.

It's funny, I've been shooting the SKS on and off for the better part of 25 years, and way back then I would have killed to have a detachable mag and all of the toys for one that we have today. But, now that we have all of that, I find that I prefer the rifle in its original configuration, and have spent extra money to achieve that. Go figure.

And yes, the Yugo is nose heavy to begin with. When I did the TAPCO thing with my Yugo I made matters worse by adding a tri-rail handguard that threw the gun way, way off balance. Had I taken off that handguard I still might have that rifle today. I'm not sure how the TAPCO affected the balance so the OP's rifle with the original painted stock my be much better than mine was.
 
Yuogoslavian Model 59?

I have a Yugo M59 (no launcher/gas cut-off switch), and didn't know how it compares with other Yugos or the Russians which it is more like. Mag conversions? Collectibility? It has matching #'s and some stock markings (name, three dots). Thanks!
