![]() I'm expecting n all out movement in the ignorant mushroom left wing nut house to push more illegal laws through. This is considered non removable, just like the magazines of the SKS. The threaded on flare launcher is also pined, so its not to be removed. And even if they were not produced before the date, they still would be legal to own in CT. It is an expensive rifle to make now a days due to the metal and craftsmanship put into them. The ones in the link were of the 70's era, way before the Sept. Huge portion of the SKS's, if not all, were produced before the pre ban date. The state will always interpret or change them the way THEY feel like. We are right with the laws.as they are for now. So should every firearm follow these illegal and un Constitutional laws, which this Constitution state put forth? Or just out law the tools? It gives each soldier versatility.Technically speaking, pretty much any firearm can accept a detachable magazine. I gotta say, that's handy for any battle environment. In fact, grenades can be fired even without unloading the rifle. Then they could lower the grenade sight, turn the gas system back on, load a stripper clip of regular ammo, and fire away. All they had to do was turn off the gas system, raise the grenade sight, lock the grenade on the launcher, load the grenade firing cartridge, aim and shoot. The grenade cartridges were stored in the tail booms of each grenade. They would wear a large belt-looking device with rifle grenades strapped to their backs. Rather than tie a lot of men to a piece of equipment that relies on roads and gasoline, they gave each soldier the versatility of being able to fire standard small arms rounds or grenades.įrom what I've read of the Balkan wars, this was very effective in urban environments. I guess they just found it cheaper and more effective to provide each soldier with a grenade launcher on his rifle. But I would imagine that since their military wasn't the best equipped in the world, and they were not exactly on the Soviet Union's buddy list, they had to do something to make up for their lack of mechanized infantry. There isn't a whole lot of information out there about the Yugoslav military doctrines from that time period. It wasn't until 1966 that they started the switch to the M59/66 configuration.Īs for why they did this, I really couldn't tell you. They started using the SKS in 1959 with the M59 model, which was just a plain-jane SKS (no grenade equipment). Keep in mind that the Yugoslavian M59/66 is not the "first run" of SKS's in Yugoslavia. ![]()
