Hunter's lodge SKS cleanup. Yugo 59/66 

Great video man, great job on cleaning that rifle up. I just picked one up, and found all of this very informative. 👍

Nice job. Really nice.

MFC that SKS is a good one and cleaned up nice. i just talked to them there and they are selling rifles big time. Also they just got rifles stacked floor to the roof there. New arrivals there and they will be advertised real soon, unreal deals coming soon. THX for sharing!

8:37 that’s a forced match, IE they put the main S/N on the gastube so it’d be matching to the rifle

Thanks for sharing. I've never been willing to roll the dice with HL given all the negative reviews.

Very nice I like the worn look. I have one unissued w/ arsenal logbook that stays in the grease and another that had hardly been fired and looks new but I wouldn't mind having one w/ honest wear. For the current market I think you did well.

One tip if ya want to know.... I have a M-59 and a M--59/66 both were soaked in cosmoline n love Yugo's even better than my 1954 Tula... Don't just clean with soaking the firing pin ..Punch out the pins and pull out the firing pin and clean out thoroughly cause with a Yugo SKS it Will slam fire.... The Yugo's inspected their Milsurps every 5-7 years and kept dunkin them in cosmoline... I had to buy a Murry's SKS spring load Firing Pin for them.... Yugo's are far better than a chinese or a worn out Russian... JMO. Because their basically newer than most countries....Yes their not chrome lined barrels but than again most barrels are not.... Just don't want what happened to me happen to you.... I cleaned my SKS's by scrubbing bubbles for everything n carb. cleaner but that free floating firing pin started sticking and had a 10 rd. slam fire.... If your bore is still good that rifle will last you a life time.......be well n Keep America Great 👍👍..

Great video

Great 👍🏻 job

Picked up Yugo M59 and an "as issued" M59/66A1, with the matching log book, In the cosmoline, at a GS back in 2014. Both came with all accesories. Very cool. Don;t know if you took out the extension rod and spring and the gas shut off valve, as both are cosmo filled and possibly have rust accumulation.

Very interesting 🤨

Next time.. Scrubbing bubbles (from a can) on the stocks with a nylon brush. Use it outside with a hose. Let the wood dry in the sun. Then lots of boiled linseed oil. Be prepared for the stocks to swell. Put an oversized bore brush (32 cal?) on a cleaning rod and use a drill on a slow speed. The bore will clean up.

I bought two M-1 carbine leather handled bayonets,and two leather handled M-3 trench knives and all were in good + condition ,but each one took over a month to get.

I bought one years ago from AIM surplus. These are really getting hard to find. Mine was in really good condition. But now I’m betting JB wants them banned.

cleaning rod

Great looking gun. It was funny when your twin said “yeah yeah yeah, what about the bore?’ I’m glad you left that in. But I’m sure he also said “yeah yeah yeah, what about the butt?” Before you found that cigarette butt. That would’ve been funny because you are always so concerned about checking up the butt.

I also have two and there both just too cool

Any problem with the screws that hold your action in? Mine were peened on the one I bought years ago.

Sorry, there isn't anything in the price range you're talking about out there to do that. I'm a collector as well and an FFL manufacturer. I think you lucked out truthfully.
