Romy is the best surplus for the m53, for the price---just hard to find---like the others said---get a 308 conversion and get into reloading-because surplus ammo is getting harder to find,and commercial is getting costly.

Re: 42/53 Parts Kit
pits right ---everything firearm related is going up, and i think it will for a while
the zb kits are a good deal imo,the barrel is the problem,a live barrel can fetch 3-4 hundred and that was before the buying flurry,I was told that Centerfire has very few of the zb kits left.

Re: Centerfire Yugo M53 kit
Welcome---42Rocker is right,the rear receiver is getting costly and hard to find, and parts from a complete receiver makes for an eaiser build.
