Video: Yugo SKS Ceremonial Rifles

Speaker 1:
Hey everybody! Ben with Classic Firearms here. Today is Tuesday, June the 20th, and before we get to our very special offering today I need to do a little house cleaning. Yesterday was the Monday following Father's Day. I made a little Father's Day announcement. Talked about how happy I was that my daughters were home, which that I was, but I didn't take care of business. I was supposed to take care of Classic Arms business and that announcement first. We had a Father's Day promotion. We had a winner on that promotion, and it was Mr. William S. out of Dallas, Texas. William, we appreciate your business. We want to congratulate you on winning. What a win. That was a thousand bucks that came your way. Not only have you been notified of that, but you've taken your $1,000 and turned it into product already; which is on its way to you. So again, thanks for your participation and congratulations on the win. We got another cool contest and promotion coming up at July 4th, so be on the look out for that. Having said that, Dylan's running the camera. Dylan, come on in and let's just let this product speak for itself. This is something that, in my 28 years in the business, I have never had the privilege to hold before these came in. Folks, these are Ceremonial Honor Guard SKS rifles. Yugoslavian 59/66s that were originally manufactured and set aside for the Honor Guard to use in official military ceremonies and parades. They also used them for their equivalent of the 21-gun salute at dignitary funerals, and things such as that. You can see the beauty of them. Dylan, go ahead and scan this rifle. I want folks to see the high gloss finish on the stock, it is absolutely gorgeous. All the chrome on this rifle is very high-end chrome. This would be the quality of what I would say you would have on a high-end custom built motorcycle, as far as the chrome is concerned. All of the serial numbers are original serial numbers. There are no re-numbers from the importer on these, such as ATF requires on surplus sometimes. Now folks, I'm not gonna say that all the numbers match on these. We have actually seen at least one mismatched number on one of the floor plates here, on the magazine. But all of the bolts that we've seen in the receivers, bolts are either unnumbered; which they would comes that way sometimes for the ceremonial, or they have matched the receiver and they are just absolutely beautiful. Their marked as X code, but I would call these unissued condition. Absolutely beautiful rifles. We have less than 50 of these all under the X code, and Dylan's gonna scan the table and show you each of them. So this is a prime example. We set out five, but everything we've seen so far has looked just like this, with the exception of one rifle. We had one rifle that is a very slight lower grade. It had a couple of more dings on the stock. I think where they had been in the crate together. That particular rifle came to us over a V code, it is very good. We could just lump them all in together, but because we know that it's been classified as slightly less cosmetically, we're gonna run it at $100 lower under the custom option. So we have on V code under the custom option at minus $100, that will put it at seven ninety-nine, ninety-nine. Otherwise, we have these very nice, excellent-to-unissued condition Ceremonial Yugoslavian SKS's. Beautiful rifles. A part of history. These are at eight ninety-nine, ninety-nine. We expect them to go fast. They all come with their original military manual. They come with original sling. All of them come with the cleaning rod. Now folks, we asked the importer to provide a cleaning rod, because if you're a shooter, we know a cleaning rod is important to you. But originally the ceremonial rifles did not come with the cleaning rods, because of the way that the bayonet works on this particular rifle, the cleaning rod would be inhibiting on it. But we are including the cleaning rods in the box, just know if you're gonna use the bayonet, you will need to be without the cleaning rod there. Dylan, bring it on in, I want to show a couple more close ups before we close out. You can see the bolts on these. If you look in there, you can see the grind marks where these are all the heavy milled bolts. All of the barrels are the heavy lug, screw in barrels. All of the trigger guards are the one piece milled trigger housings. Folks, everything here is just top-notch quality. They are very usable, this is not just some type of expensive wall hanger. If you want to shoot it, go out and shoot it. Not only are they great shooters, and I just noticed this ... Dylan come back in. Even the follower on this, folks, is chromed. So you can see down inside there, you've got a chrome follower inside the magazine well. But not only are they good shooters, these actually have the best and most smooth trigger pulls on them of any SKS I've ever seen. They do that so that all the troops, when they're firing in time fire, they can all fire at one time. They want the triggers to break crisply and evenly on command, so that's a very smooth trigger pull. I want to do that again, cause I love the trigger pull on that thing. Aww, sweater than honey. I love it. Folks I could go on and on but they're gonna sell fast. Less than 50 available at eight ninety-nine, ninety-nine. When you see this, they will be on the site. We're gonna go ahead and post them on the site, as soon as we send the email. So when you see it, they're on the site ready to sell under the SKS Ceremonial Rifle product code.
