what do you guys think, i only payed 150 for it

[nowhereman]

Its worth $150 no doubt, I almost bought another today myself. Seems the Norinco's are all over the place right now.

[KMURPHY]

i like the yugos..but i ont dig the mag. To each his own, nice score for the $$$$

[97th Signalman]

That is a great looking rifle for a fair price. From the grenade laucher I would asume it is a Yugo 59/66. However, the stock looks Chinese with that glossy orangish finish but it could be a refinished Yugo stock. I assume that is a thirty round mag. Some of those high cap mags are only semi-removable and are really meant to be top loaded. Is that how yours is or can you just pop it in and out like an AK mag?

[pelos]

from what i was told its a 20 rd TAPCO Mag. Are they any good?

[hunter_la5]

However, the stock looks Chinese with that glossy orangish finish but it could be a refinished Yugo stock.

yeah I was thinking the same thing, it looks a lot like the stock on mine and my bro's Norincos. but I'm no SKS expert so who knows?

[nowhereman]

Depends on how it shoots. If it were mine and started jamming. I would slap a factory mag back in. I like the originals myself.

[jlpskydive]

Nice score, the Tapco mags are great I have several and they all work perfectly.

[SteelCore]

As said b4 iff you have feed issues, get that factory mag on there. I do prefer them...also I think the area gets a little grey with 922r with C&R rifles if you start swapping on non-stock parts...

That stock does look a bit diff than my Yugo 59/66 stock.

Check to see if yout flip-up night sights still have live tritium in them. Mine did!

Guessing its a yugo refinish, as it has the launcher butt pad on it, that would have to be transfered along with the fact most chinese stocks werent inlet for blade bayonets(though there were some which I need to try to get my hands on one some day)

I agree get a 10 rd mag for them, they aint hard to find at any gunshow, or to order on line. My yugo came with a 30 rounder, I put the first one I found which I think was a chinese 10 rd in.

[Grasshopper]

Ummm, a c&r converted to a detatchable mag rifle?
Ummm, would this need a compliace kit because it was imported as a c&r and it has now changed configureation? 922r?

The Yugo SKS was importable only because it is a C&R. Otherwise it would violate 922r and not be importable unless it has no more than 10 of the above listed imported parts. It is illegal to convert a Yugo SKS into a non importable configuration per letters received by several members of a couple of different online SKS forums. The BATF references 922r as the reason for the conversions being illegal.
Start counting!:tinhat:
I'm thinking that stock is an American made replacement, as well as your pistons and trigger stuff, good job! Looks great.

[SteelCore]

I just dinn't say it that way...

ah, good point, I didnt even catch that. thanks for clarifying! :thumbup:

[Grasshopper]

Those american parts look great:America: I need a link to get some too!
Err, sorry, I didn't mean to be so harsh and obvious. I'll use a bit of cooth next time or an IM.
I just wanted to not incourage "mistakes" but i was wrong... It is American made stuff and I'm an ass:icon_neutral:

[nowhereman]

I thought changing the configuration of a C&R firearm only matters if you buy it w/ your license. Otherwise it is just a FFL purchase. Did I miss something. Did the guy buy it C&R or do I need to go back and read the giant books the ATF sent me.
