There are recently imported Yugo’s out there for around $279. Knowing how cheap they used to be I balk at the price but I’ve never heard anything bad about them.
ETA: Just found VG Yugo 59/66s at Samco for $259 and Excellent for $299. SOG may have some on their site, I don’t have time to look right now.

I’ve had 3 different SKS’s. A type 56 Norinco, a 59/66 Yugo, and a type 45 Russian (Tula). The only one worth anything was the Russian. I sold the other 2 and kept the “52 Tula. Russian SKS’s are in the $450 – $600 range here in SW Florida. At the last fun show, July ????, a guy had a ’54 Tula for $450 that was pretty nice.
My Russian goes bang every time. It’s reliable and accurate. Save your money and get a Russian. You won’t be sorry.

The Yugo 56/66 model is ok and right now Cabelas has a bunch on sale for $199.00, but I have never been a fan of them. Now if you can score a Yugo 59, they are sweet shooters but may cost you a little more. The Russian and Romanian I think are some of the nicest out there and I just put a Russian on layaway for $319, which is a decent price, but not great. I bought it to replace my other Russian that has a mismatched mag/floorplate.
Typical russians in the midwest are going in the $400 range with Romainians in the high 3′s.
Check the equipment exchange often for deals as Christmas is coming and people will start unloading some stuff.

I had a hell of a time with mine, until I got all of the gunk out of the gas system.
After that, NOTHING stops it. It’s also reasonably accurate, for what it is. I’m perfectly happy with it.
While I’d love to buy more at prices from several years back, $250-300 is still a pretty good deal for what you’re getting. A reliable, 10 round, semi-auto rifle that is built like a tank.

I do have them in my SKS’s Even without the spring installed, they offer a reduced chance of a slam fire. Instead of a conical shaped firing pin head pushing up into a conical shaped hole, the pin is just round at the end and never contacts the conical hole in the bolt.
The one real problem with them is that if you have a pierced primer the flame entering the bolt through the hole will take the temper out of the spring and render it useless. Even with the spring in this condition the pin still functions properly. Mr. Murray has also discovered what seems to be the cause of a lot of these pierced primer incidents. On a lot of SKS Rifle Stocks bolts, there seems to be a burr or raised edge around the firing pin hole on the face of the bolt. By removing this burr it stopped my SKS’s from having any more pierced primers.

Snot-Rocket I’m VERY interested in this optic being that I have no need for NV capability, its short and the battery compartment can hang off the front of the upper receiver over the delta ring… as a bonus its powered by a 123 battery witch my lights and other accessory’s use, and its got a nice but not GREAT battery life… thoughts on this optic? does anyone know if anyone is either making currently or planning to make a quick release mount for this model of EOTech? Originally I was planning on picking up a Aimpoint Comp M4s, but I cant choke buying a $700 optic + $150ish for a QD mount and then only getting a single dot reticle… the1000z

The SOCOM is short barreled and more of a door kicker gun; the AR10 is more a precision long range gun. Not necessarily…the A4 with a 16″ barrel and Aimpoint make for quite a doorkicker… Or even the A2 would be good for that: BB
3/20/2007 7:59:05 AM By “door kicker” I mean the ability to use the buttstock as a potential breeching tool. Not something I would do with an AR*. YMMV.

Taking them to the range was no longer comfortable. Also, regular ear muffs were not protecting my hearing protection and they made getting a proper cheek weld on rifles and shotguns nearly impossible. So I basically stopped shooting. I thought electronic muffs were some sort of ‘trick’.

Yeah I’d found those already. If you look at the pics of mine its a solid one piece unit, not the two piece look like the ones in the old article. Mine also doesn’t have any windage or elevation adjustment knobs. It is also not marked Bushnell anywhere on it. I’m not sure if windage can be adjusted by loosening and sliding the reticle to one side a bit like you do with pistol iron sights. I guess I’m somehow hoping this is a special dedicated model for the M4 or something. It’ll still work for what I need it for though. Thanks for everyones help so far, it looks like a 400 but is far different at the same time. Does anyone have a user manual for the 400 or link as I think operation will be the same besides windage and elevation?

Doh! You’re right, I didn’t look closely enough.
When I looked in my archives, I found I have some pics of a 1999 vintage EOTech – I’m guessing this was the first model marketed by EOTech. It looks like yours is missing the protective hood, and I don’t think they came with the archery sights.

Yeah, except during combat, all these countries seemed to dump the FAL almost immediately for their malfunctions. Well put, some countries hated it, some loved it, israel dumped it after a short time in service in thier military, on the other hand and about -combat scenarios- the FAL and L1A1 for that matter seemed to work flawlessly in the Falklands artic condition, and just fine for the aussies in VietNam, i guess that when it comes to FALs you just love them or flat out hate them……….in my case, i’m somewhere in the middle. My Argie FAL did have a few issues, not minor issues but big ones suchs as cracked gas tubes, and bolts. After taking care of those by changing both of those parts for belgium parts the rifle’s been 100 percent reliable and i haven’t had ONE issue eversince. HUNTER. I love the FAL rifle design and own 5 FALs to my one M1A. I just get tired of folks from other countries using a nasty tone about Americans. Especially countries that have reaped the benefits of our direct protection for generations. I love the FAL and I like Canada. But I do like to be loyal to my country. Americans can be funny that way. The FAL rifle has not seen half the abuse the M14 Accessoriesrifle has endured. The M14 Accessorieshas also been sent out all over the world and is still in use by many nations including Haiti, Balkan nations, Taiwan and still at work in Iraq with US Forces. Both rifles have strong points and limitations. This argument is really old but the fact is, The M14 Accessorieshas endured much harsher conditions than 95% of all FALs worldwide. The SLR did not see, nor did Australia see what the M14 Accessoriesand American GI’s saw in Vietnam.

The FAL rifle in general, without regards to variant ,has been used by more nations and in more combat situations than the M-14 ever has, or ever will be. So what’s your point?
EOTech is not as durable as Aimpoint. EOTech is easier to pick up initially. Magnifiers extend both down range nicely. Buy a Comp2 or 3 Aimpoint and you are at the same dollars as an EOTech.
I went with durabilibty. I love my Aimpoint

LaRue Tactical ALWAYS answers their phones AND they talk to you right then and there. THAT is how a company should run a service department!! Did I already mention that the EOTech Service department/corporate office sucks?!!!!!!

Can you use the 3x FTS ( flip to side ) ? My friend’s has a BUIS under the FTS mount.
I was planning on picking up a 517 and 3x for my AR.

33shooter,
When I checked with LaRue Tactical about a year ago, I was told that they had nothing that would allow me to fit the EOTech 612, 3x magnifier, and BUIS on a 6920. They told me if I switched to Aimpoint I could do it…..but I really prefer the EOTech and don’t want to switch. I can’t remember exactly what the problem was that they were explaining. But if I remember, that little raised patch of rails on the LT110 was only designed to be compatible with a night vision scope. The LT110 will not fit a swing- to- the- side magnifier on it’s small patch of rails. (I can’t remember if they said their would be a cowitness problems with the BUIS too.) All I remember for sure was I that had to drop the idea because they told me on two different occassions that it could not be done.
I’ll check again this year and see if they have anything new that will work.
I’ll say one thing about LaRue Tactical compared to the turds at EOTech…… LaRue Tactical ALWAYS answers their phones AND they talk to you right then and there. –
LaRue Tactical just came out with a new LT670 mount, but it’s designed for the older Eotech 512 EOTech, (and now getting obsolete fast) The LaRue Tactical 670 mount will not work with the newer and higher 517 EOTechs. (How’s that product release for timing!)
Unlike LaRue Tactical who ALWAYS answers their phone, I called EOTech to ask this question, but got nothing but a bunch of voice mail answering machines. Maybe somebody will eventually call back…….when I’m either sitting on the toilet, or I’m out of the house I’m sure. Figure I might get an answer here faster.

I have a 557 with a 4X mounted with plenty of clearance over the hand guard. It is an older style LaRue Tactical , but there is a good bit of room to spare. I don’t have a BUIS mounted, so I can’t comment.
