It took some work to remove the cosmoline from my Yugo but it has gone bang every time since.

As a former NJ resident, just a heads up if you are not a resident you cannot be in a possession of a firearm even when visiting. No possession whatsoever except driving directly through the state. According to the NJSP, you can't even stop for food. Just gas and restroom use.

Also, I have the Norinco Paratrooper and love it, the only thing I would swap it for is a Paratrooper "M" or "D" model. Just don't put a bunch of stupid on it please!

Ya, NJ is a pain in the ass for gun stuff. depending on who you ask you need a FID just to possess firearms.

There is a thread/story somewhere about the guy stuck in NJ because of a airline snafu. He was forced to spend night in NJ and was arrested when attempting to check in at airport with firearms in locked case. He lost in court and Supreme Court refused to take case up. Looks like NJ has carte blanche

ya, that was a **** case. It should have been the fault of the airline, but it is what it is I guess.

Anyone who tells you that you don't need a FID to purchase/possess is misinformed. And I really want to drive the point home about not bringing firearms if/when you go to visit. It's simply not worth your freedom.

I had a mint Yugo. I didn't trust it to go bang evtry time. Had trigger/disconnecter issues. Also would jam if high cap mags were used. I got rid of it.

On the plus side it was cheap,accurate, and 7.62X39 whacking steel is impressive. They have gone up in price so if bought right there is money to be made.

My BiL is a cop in NJ, I asked him to give me the lowdown when he gets a chance. But I think I will keep the guns at home now. Thanks for the information.

Good calls guys. I live in MA and WE know NJ is more effed up gun law-wise than us. I mean our license criteria is tougher and arbitrary but you can get a non-resident MA license (really) We can also use regular self defence rounds and still be legal.....in NJ it;s one felony for each.hollowpoint......So yeah guns I wouldn't even dream of bringing anything NJ. Not even driving through.


Now for the on topic part.

I liked my Yugo. I cleaned that damn barrel so good it almost looked chrome. I sold it to a fellow INGOer before I moved. Once I got here I found out I could have kept it,nYou see the launcher and bayonet were only 2 evil features.......and true prebans are OK witht he right license. If I only knew before I moved......MA home of the $700 used Glock

I like them all! Russians are the finest made. You can run the **** out of any of them. The only advantage to an ak is more rounds. I prefer an sks.

I have never had any issues with my Yugo. I've even launched some grenades off with it. Pretty cool if you ask me. But there is just something about it that does not make it my favorite.

 

[Bigdog357]

I have a Yugo, I have put thousands of rounds downrange with not one problem, I'm sure the Russian and Chinese work just as well, I have friends that have them and love them.
I have included a picture for all you anti-plastic purist to enjoy

Any tips on finding some at a decent price? Armslist is full of overpriced plastic and the LG near me hasn't produced
