just picked up this "new condition" rifle last Thursday -
got the logbook for $20.00 extra - set another one, a "D" prefix rifle (also with logbook) aside for pick up later on this coming week - didn't have all the money on me -
My rifle has been, apparently, rearsenaled, all matching #s - seems the top of the bolt carrier has be "scrubbed" and re-numbered - besides the original serial #s, the rifle also has the (parts assembly?) # 35917- same # as is on the underside of the barrel - electropenciled on the bolt (serial on the bolt itself, unlike the one on the bolt carrier, is the original stamped #) underside of the bolt carrier, the rear sight, the base of the trigger guard, the magazine (not the magazine cover, but the magazine itself), the gas tube (which also has the original stamped # on it) and underside of the receiver cover. The stock has the serial # stamped on it and on the recess to access the safety latch has a penciled "35917" number.
Rifle's bluing is spotless, gas system's in grate shape... furniture is outstanding... Pristine overall. I'd say it's a good buy. What do you think?
Samco's now out of
all M59, but they apparently have still got plenty of M59/66s, including a (very) few Yugo 59/66s with logbooks - including some consecutive #s they won't split up. tell me, do you really think it's worth paying the extra $ for the logbooks? there's also a large STACK of orders on one of the front office desks... waiting to be filled. There are piles of empty crates out by the dumpster.
Nice people here.
Will try to get pics of book and rifle up soon... anything else you'd like me to note or point out, anything you need -please ask... I do want to learn about these weapons'... history, etc.. it's all very interesting to me. Im a pensioned Vet and got lots of time to devote to this endeavour.
