Description
Unissued condition Ceremonial Guard SKS 59/66 Rifles manufactured by Zastava in Yugoslavia. We have never offered or seen these rifles before, and to our knowledge, these have not been made available in the United States until now. This is a very small quantity of rifles manufactured with the combination of black steel finish and chromed steel parts (including the bayonet) as pictured, for special Honor and Ceremonial military purposes. Each is a fully functional rifle in what appears to be new unissued condition fresh out of the crates. Each includes sling, cleaning kit and log book.

Gorgeous rifles, but a bit rich for my blood. Still would love to have one as a wall-hanger, but not at this price.
For $695? I don't think so. $500 tops.
I would bite at 500-ish. Almost double the cost of a 'new surplus' is pushing it.
I'm sure they bought these for a lot cheaper than what they are selling them for. That being said, if you or I purchased a factory new SKS and sent it off to have the chrome work and wood work done, you would still be in the ballpark of what these are priced at.

I've refinished the wood on an old Ruger 10/22 that my dad bought back in 1981. It is a very time consuming process and I'm sure a person that does that type of work for a living wouldn't do it for cheap.
Regardless, these sure are pretty. I would treat one as more of a piece of art, than a rifle if I got one.
So after researching these rifles, I found out they are from Slovenia, and have a stronger receiver build than a normal SKS.

If you use chrome, there should be a window at the top right to translate for you.
I honestly was never interested in spending money on an SKS, but I really freakin want one of these.
SKS's are great rifles and I am sad I sold mine. I had one from Roses in the 80s that looked brand new (no chrome mind you) that I purchased for a 100 dollars when my neighbor's father moved back to Europe. He had cleaned up the outside of the gun but the inside was still caked with cosmoline and I assume was unfired or at least unissued by the looks of it.
Just an FYI for future reference, Kerosene (lantern fuel) is great at removing cosmoline. There are a lot of people that think you have to do all kinds of boiling water tricks, or buy special detergents and they all produce a massive amount of toxic sludge when you're done cleaning.
A small bottle of cheap Kerosene and some old rags that you can let the kerosene evaporate off of before you toss them in the trash is all you need. It will also clean any rust that might be on the metal as well.
If you shoot a lot of corrosive ammo, and your piston is caked in rust, brush it off with Kerosene and an old tooth brush. You can wait for it to evaporate or you can just light it up to burn all the excess fuel off. Its an old WW1 infantry trick.
My sks is my favorite rifle. Its old and crappy but built like a tank. And these are beautiful. I want one but not at this price
