Keep the Yugo.

It's a Yugo SKS ON-89 Scope. Rail drill & tapped directly to the receiver. Designed for the Yugo SKS; & rock solid! The scope comes in a pouch with tools, rubber shields, and a manual. It cost more than the rifle did.

One of my favorite rifles!

I picked it up yesterday evening & got back from Knoxville late. It took 39 days if my math is right. They quoted 6 to 8 weeks. So they actually were done sooner than they quoted. At work now & haven't had a chance to field strip it. Took a few pictures though. Coal Creek Armory was about empty & Scott got me in and out in a couple of minutes. Great service last night. That's good because the wife & I had a long list of errands to run in the big city. The pistol has a uniform matte black finish; the purple tint of the slide is gone. All parts that were refinished, are completely finished inside & out. So the inside of the slide & the frame look just like the outside. The barrel is still silver as I asked. (They will treat the barrel if you wish.) The large logo on the left side of the slide is fine. The serial numbers and stamps on the right side of the slide are some what fainter. So, if you're worried about that, you may not want this done. Looks like the weapon was just bead blasted, no buffing took place. The tool marks I had near the front sight, on top of the slide, are slightly less pronounced. The holes in the sites were refilled with white paint. Personally, if this were a NIB P7 safe queen with collector value, I wouldn't have it done. For a used police trade in PSP that's going to be on my body 10 hours a day, it's perfect! I am extremely pleased with Coal Creek Armory's work and their customer service. For $200.00, you get a rock hard, rust proof, matte black finish. It's not a coating, so there's no chance of chipping. IMHO it's a bargain. I'm going to have a S&W 539 done next. Then maybe a G3K. Heck, maybe I'll have my SAM5 done too. Arsenal's paint isn't exactly very durable. Sorry for my poor photography. mike

The wife & I have to go to Knoxville on business this week, so I'll stop by Coal Creek Armory to talk to one of their gunsmiths. I want my H&K P7 PSP refinished in ISONITE QPQâ„¢ / Melonite. This is my daily carry side arm & the factory bluing is getting a little thin. Will give a complete report (with pics) when it's done. Mike

Those things rock! Most accurate .40SW I've ever shot.

I'm not much on AR's; but, I really like your Ruger! Nice write up too. Thanks.

I'd bet the PTR32 is more accurate than most AKM's or AK-47's in 7.62x39. Almost ordered one myself; but, decided on ordering one of the new Vector G3K's in .308. If they come out with a PTR32 in a MP5K size package, I might have to have one of those. Nothing wrong with AK's though.
