I think I made the best gun trade of my life today.
A Yugo 59/66 I bought for about 150 bucks several years ago (non-bubba'd) +260 rounds of ammo (that I bought when it was also cheap), for a brand-new Ruger Single Six convertible, blue, fixed sights, barrel the same length as the ejector housing (4 5/8 or whatever).
I haven't shot the SKS in years. Thought it was cool when I bought it, but got bored quickly.
Dad taught me how to shoot on a .22 revolver very similar to this one - H&R, IIRC. I'm going to get a lot more use out of this than I ever did that rifle.
It's nice to have the dead wood out of the safe, and to have something I know I'm really going to like.
Straight trade, no cash. He was asking 419.00 on the Ruger. I think I did okay!
