He never stated whether it was a Yugo 59/66 or an actual M59. Last December I bought two of these 59s, in excellent condition with matching actions/bolts/bolt carriers. There might not be quite as desired as pure Russians, but the 59s are much less common in the US. SOG might still have some (the seller got both of them from there).

A definite cure for SKS' popped primers (most often using Tula ammo) is to ship the gun to Murray's, in Bowie TX. One of mine is now enroute. The actual reamed chamber is $30 per rifle, with no effect on accuracy.

There is a large forum at SKSboards featuring issues addressed by Murray's gunsmith work. They also have a nice website.
