hey guys
got my yugo from aim today fine looking rifle
hadnt shot it yet but as soon as it stops raining i will
my question is on the barrel is stamp
yugoslavia model 59/66
7.62x39 nt llcw Hurley NY
also the end of the barrel is ported
what in the world does this mean
my other yugo does not have this mark and is not ported

thanks don

that is the importers stamp, but i am not familiar with who that might be, possibly Numrich's.

I second that, Papa G. Importers mark different parts of the firearms. Why? No one is really sure.
As far as the non-porting, it must be an earlier SKS because they didn't use the grenade launcher as a muzzle brake until 1961. I'd be interested to see if there is a difference between the two models as far as recoil is concerned...

Well I said the heck with it and bought the Yugo with the launcher in excellent condition. Just came from the SOG site and pushed the submit button. Also bought a CZ52 in very good condition handpicked. Waiting for that knock knock on the door already!

 

[Calvin]

Good for you, Joe! Hope you like your new toys. Let us know how they turn out..

My Yugo M48 has the same importers mark but the only part that was stamped deep enough to see was "Hurley NY" I dont know who that is either.

well
after looking a little deeper into the box guess what
there was a card from the importer with a 90 day warranty
got to send it in
also as for the recoil it is lighter than the other yugo i have
but it is a little loud the rifle it self looks and shoots great
the cut off valve works on this one unlike my first yugo
if i new i would get another one just as good as this one
i would order it now

thanks again
