Are you looking for an original or one with an aftermarket hand guard?

Also, have you tried the paperclip fix? Yugo Gas System Fix

That forum is one that I'm on, and is a great source of SKS info.

Here's a couple of places that might have what you're looking for if you need a new gas tube.


With aftermarket handguard w/rail: MilSurpStuff.com Products


Original tube with wooden handguard:
Gas Cylinder with Handguard Complete SKS Yugo 59/66 Rifle - $59.00 : Buymilsurp.com, Your source for military surplus.

No I haven't used the paperclip fix I put a o ring around it and shot about 20 rounds out of it and the ring got hot and melted in two.

PM Integraholic, as last time I talked with him he was talking about replacing his with an aftermarket one. Maybe he'd sell you his stock one.

If the o-ring fix worked temporarily, the paperclip fix would have worked too. It does the same thing...creates a better seal betweent the tube and the gas valve.

You have two options.

1) Replace the gas tube (link to original provided earlier)

2) Replace the gas valve --> http://www.cncwarrior.com/ a good aftermarket valve.

Often times the gas valve is the part that is erroded due to years of use (and abuse) with corrosive ammunition, and / or not being cleaned regularly when used as a military service rifle. The gas tube may be in bad shape too, so check each one.

Many a Yugo SKS that doesn't cycle properly, but does with the paper clip or o-ring fix has been fixed with the gas valve.

Its up to you in how you want to fix your Yugo SKS, but sometimes the valve does the trick and is a bit cheaper too.

I just replaced the Gas Valve on my Yugo with the CNC Warrior valve and it's running perfectly now, best $10 bucks Iv'e spent in awile.
