Sharp looking wheelgun. Very nice.
Got my second Yugo 59/66 parts gun a few days ago.
I was really hoping for one with some well done carvings but I'll settle for this one.
Looks like a few different names on this one, or maybe names of cities, who knows. I'll have to do some research and see what I find.
Many years of cosmolene here. I've never seen a Yugo this caked with cosmolene this dry. Looks like the CMP Springfield I got a long time ago. I may have to steam it with it and then loosen it up by soaking. I don't think the usual cleanup of a few days in a bucket of Ed's Red will cut it on this one.
The tag said missing gas button. Both the button and spring were easy to find and cheap. I probably should have checked for a valve before I ordered the other parts. I'm hoping theres one in there but looking at the pictures I don't think there is. At least they're readily available.
Ported grenade launcher has me thinking this one is an oldie. You don't see this on many 59/66s except for the early ones.
All in all its still a good deal for the price they're going for. Only other thing I need for it thats not listed on the tags is a rear sling swivel.

Here's one I had to have:
It's a S&W Model 651 .22 M.R.F. Target "Kit Gun". This is an early "no-dash" version. I just got back from the range trying it out. It's a pretty good shooter.

It's a good thing that you live in the easterd part of the state. Because if we lived much closer to each other we would be fighting over all the SKS and Mil-Surps that are in the guns stores
. It looks very nice
Function over form. Glock 21 refurb with 2 hi caps and S&W 340pd with Hi Viz front sight. I know that these will make Pilgrim drool! LOL!

Man, the paratrooper is such a nice looking rifle. Let us know how it shoots!

Ray,
Is the bayonet a standard one? My paratrooper (Norinco) is not even built for one.
I also found this here:
Paratrooper: A sleekly modified version of the SKS who's prominent feature is a shortened barrel. Although it has a military sounding name, this type of SKS is strictly commercial and was never issued as a military rifle. Paratroopers are just as accurate as they were when they were full sized military rifles, but the shortened barrel negatively impacts muzzle velocity so the projectile will loose some of it's energy downrange. The barrel shortening technique was pioneered by Midwest Ordinance. They invited representatives from China Jin An to the US to learn the process and before long, they started making the paratroopers China. The bayonet from a full sized SKS can fit on a paratrooper, but is too long to fold so it must stay extended. Shorter bayonets have been made for this popular commercial variant, but they're so short it's almost silly looking when extended. It could put an eye out, but that's about all a paratrooper bayonet can do!

I'd hate like hell to get stuck with the bayonet from my paratrooper! Its like a 10 inch screwdriver with a flat point, definitely would do some damage.
As far as original specs, no one really knows the true meaning or origin behind them much like no one really knows the Chinese specs for rifles made or even years produced. There are only rough figures from arsenal code markings and even those are skeptical because the Chinese neverreleased any concrete info on their weapons.
They are supposedly made for the US civillian market much like the Norinco sporters. Mine could have been a Sino Soviet for all I know because the date is early judging by the serial number and it is a Code 26 with Russian marked rear site and matching numbers.
I just know I wanted one for a long time and a void is finally filled. This brings me to 15 total of various types of SKS rifles. Look out Howard Bearse http://www.simonov.net/howiecollect.htm ... I'm aiming to catch up with you.![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

What took you so long Ray? I got my paratrooper several years ago. It even came with a pistol grip which I removed and gave away.
Using the codes I found on the internet, this was made in 1967 and has no import markings. They are way cool guns.

I always saw them at gun shows but usually found something else first or didn't have the cash. They usually go for around $300 these days because they're getting scarce.
BTW if you still have the metal hand guard on yours, I have an extra wood hand guard minus the gas tube from a Chinese stock. Let me know if you want it and I can bring it to the surplus shoot.
You got a deal ! Thanks.
After showing the pic to the folks on the SKS boards I've found out my paratrooper was a Sino Soviet. It still has all the stamped numbered matching parts and the stock originally had a blade bayonet slot.
Gotta love when you find something you always wanted and come to find out its a little more collectable than you thought.![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")

Not a firearm, but 'Santa' brought my first tactical flashlight today....
It came with a remote 'pressure' switch and a weaver mount too.
Also got a 2stage trigger and a magpull miad grip for my RRA lower. Now I just need work to give us a sweet bonus so I can complete the RRA.
