You can still get a cherry Yugo, completely unfired and immaculate (some with blond wood) for maybe $180.
They would be infinitely better with the the grenade launcher, GL sight, bayonet and 6 inches of the barrel removed, but as that's difficult to do without it becoming illegal on a C&R rifle, I would advise against it.
I own a used Yugo that functions absolutely perfectly, I paid too much for it at $169, but when you're talking about prices like that, who cares.
Sure it's over-long and nose heavy, but they're great guns to have around and VERY cheap to shoot. In short they're a no brainer, and yes, the Yugo is built like a tank, never heard of one having a KB, just keep that firing pin channel clean and you'll be in good shape.
