Yugo SKS's

[gumpokc]

just a point of reference.

the Yugo sks does _not_ have a chrome lined bore, if it is lined, it isn't a yugo, or it's been relined.

Yugoslavia does not have any chromium mines. It was decided that for the typical service life of the weapons, it was not cost effective to import chromium, when with good cleaning they could save some cash, and still have a decent rifle.

In general the fit, finish, and general quality of the yugo sks is typically higher than many others, it simply doesn't have the chrome lined bore.

That's what i have always been told, and i've not seen or heard anything to contradict it.
If i am misinformed, please speak up.
