Yugoslavian SKS M59/66 7.62x39 – Wood Stock, Bayonet, Detachable Magazine

This Yugoslavian SKS M59/66 chambered in 7.62x39 is a classic surplus semi-auto rifle with the recognizable long wood stock, military-style iron sights, folding bayonet setup, and distinctive front-end hardware associated with the Yugo pattern. The receiver/import marking shows B.A.I. Georgia, VT, and the serial number appears to be S-659756.

From the photos, this example appears to be in good to very good surplus condition, with attractive wood, visible handling marks, and normal finish wear on the metal. The bolt and receiver area show the typical bright carrier/bolt appearance, while the exterior finish shows honest use rather than heavy abuse. The bore condition should be verified before final listing.

This rifle is fitted with a detachable box magazine, and the original fixed magazine is not visible in the photos. That makes it a practical range-ready setup, but collectors may want to know up front whether the original fixed magazine is included. A strong listing should highlight the Yugo M59/66 features while clearly noting the magazine setup.
