YUGO M70B1

[Guest SUNTZU]

I am looking at buying a yugo m70b1. Looking for some reviews. Thanks, guys!

Which one is the B1? I've had the AB1, the underfolder, through the shop and actually shot it. It's an AK. Everything about it worked. Fit and finish seemed fine, better than the Romanians. People get bent about the lack of chrome barrel but unless you plan on going on manoeuvres in a swamp or shooting 1k rounds of corrosive it should work just fine.

HI Rabbi-

If you don't mind, what is your out-the-door price on the yugo underfolder?

[Guest bkelm18]

www.aimsurplus.com has them I believe. I was going to buy one until I decided to build an AK out of a Russian Saiga rifle.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Rabbi, from what I have been able to find out the M70B1 is the fixed stock, the AB1 is an underfolder, as is the AB2. The pricing I have seen is around $500.00 after tax, shipping, etc....

I picked up an AB2 NIB with sling/bayonnette and a magazine for $400 about 2 years ago. It has the wood furniture and black plastic pistol grip. It has been a great shooter. If you keep your eyes open in the Equipment Exchange on AR15.com you can find them for around $450 or so right now.

I just found one:

I'm thinking Volunteer Ordnance Works has had these somewhere around $480-ish, can't recall for certain. They do Knoxville gun shows.

I have a Century Arms Yugo underfolder I unfortunatley paid $569 for at a local shop this summer. The overall appearance and finish isn't spectacular, but I haven't had any failures yet and it shoots about as good as an AK should.

It came with 1 30-rd magazine and no cleaning rod, box or sling.

i was about to say the cleaning rod is right there in the picture but so is a sling so i figure you went and bought one yourself.
