[0321jarhead]

This is the first SKS that Yugoslavia came out with that started in 1961. This Yugo of mine was made in 1966. The serial numbers on these are on the receiver and the stock. As other SKS rifles will show serial numbers on various parts. The M59 shows the part number instead. Also you will notice that the bayonet is a dark grey. That is another way to identify the M59. No other SKS bayonets are like that.
