Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I have a Yugo SKS with a grenade launcher. I bought it pretty cheap about ten years ago. After buying it I shot it quite often for a coupel years proly put a thousand rounds through it in that time. It's the typical Yugo you see with all the bells and whistles. The bayonet, the grooved stock, the long non-functioning night sites and the grenade launcher. Back when I bought it I had always thought there was a three strike rule agains assult weapons, meaning that it took more then three "evil" characteristics to make a gun illegal. Now I read that it's more then two. Do night sites count or is it just considered two with the grenade launcher and the bayonet. I'd hate to think I trecking all over the place for all that time with an illegal firearm.

It's a SKS - it's considered C&R so you're fine.

I want a yugo like that in the worst way. Love the muzzle brake and other options. I think the yugo looks the best

I am just the opposite. The Yugo is a tank of a gun when a much lighter one could be had, considering it is shooting an intermediate round with little recoil (i.e. think stamped AK). I much prefer the Chinese, or any other country's version really. Now if I could actually launch some grenades, then I would be psyched to have a Yugo.

Thanks for the info. Yes I was pretty sure it was legal but after going over so many gun laws in the past few days (getting ready for some new purchases) I started second guessing myself.

 

BlueLineFish: That's actually not a brake, it's the grenade launcher. There are no holes in it. I've gotten crap from people before because they thought it was a flash supressor. It sounds funny though when I retort with "no it's not a flash suppressor, it's a grenade launcher".

 

I think it's pretty comfy to shoot, got the rubber cushion on the stock too. I have some of the other ones but this one is my prefered one to bring to the range. Although it is a pain to clean.

I have a Chinese already. Want a yugo next

Fixed Mag SKS is fine to do whatever with. Key Part is Fixed (not detachable0 Magazine. I like my Yugo, some people may think it's too heavy, but with techsights I can get decent (6" or so) consistent groups at 200Y and hit 8x8 steel at 100 every time.

I have a beautiful basically unfired Yugo. Not selling it, but it's in the C&R forum.

why stop there?..there are also Russian and Albanian....North Korean and East German too, but those are almost impossible to find.

I think there are some Vietnamese as well, also in the unobtanium category. I have a Russian and a Yugo. Great fun, and decent shooters with bulk ammo. I found some Lapua ammo and that stuff was amazing out of the Yugo. I still have 2 or 3 boxes to try in the Russian, but I hate to use it up. Sadly, it's Berdan primed brass.

During my short stint in the Yugo Army 20 yrs ago i fired a few of these through my Issued SKS ( they issued you an sks for baisic training and then you graduated to whatever else). Very good at 100 yards, does a lot of damage.

 

The only caveat was Never to launch in rain due to the fact that the fuse was very sensitive and it would activate at 60yds and hurt people.
