A 20-inch barrel gives this Yugo M59/66 a good balance between handling and sight radius. It is a semi-automatic rifle in 7.62x39mm with a 10-round capacity and a blued finish, and the weight is at around 9 pounds.

The seller describes it as a robust military design with a straightforward operation. The long barrel helps with accuracy and velocity, and the rifle has manageable recoil and reliable feeding. That matches what I know about the Yugoslav SKS family. They are heavy, well-built carbines that carry the cartridge comfortably.

The M59/66 is a good rifle for people who like to learn the details. The gas system, the bolt carrier, and the hinged cover are all simple to service. Cleaning takes a few minutes, and the parts are easy to understand. Surplus ammunition for 7.62x39 is available, and so are many types of modern loads.

For range use, plinking, and general shooting, the rifle gives you a lot for the money. It also fits well into a collection of Eastern Bloc rifles. When it arrives, check the bore, the stock fit, and the finish. Test the safety and look over the sights. It is sold as described, in used condition. The rifle ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
