Title pretty much says it all.
Crate in question is in tip top shape. Only thing(s) missing are the cross-brace boards that hold the rifles in place.
Want to know what others have paid for them.
I paid about $50.00 for my Yugo Honor Guard Crate, but spent over twice that to get it shipped to me. But, I wanted it. I did get all dividers with it, a new Yugo cleaning rod, and the wonderful smell of cosmoline. thumb1

I paid the same and I think shipping for mine was almost $75 FC. That was a heck of a find by SKhiSm, I have yet to fill mine with goodies though. I'll have to work on the wife and see if she'll accept it in the house as a coffee table or somethin' this year. I've failed three years in a row now! chuckles1
Ditto to FC’s and RM’s comments. Shipping was the most expensive part, all the way to WA, but I’m glad to have it.
I unscrewed one handle so I could stand it upright. Installed a latch and filled it with SKSs in my gun room.
Thanks for the input.
The one at the show this weekend was super clean, just missing those crucial dividers though. Easy enough to replicate I imagine. If he still has it, I'm hoping the vendor is local-ish so I can pick it up in person and skip the shipping.
Just buy it. :))

Original asking price was $200. No, thanks.
If I can get the seller to cut the price by half, or more...then maybe.
Is there at least an M59 inside?! :o

...not even a passage to Narnia
Or not. :-\
I guess the other question is, how many yugos do yo have to put in it? because having a crate with empty spots might end up costing you a trip down yet another rabbit hole.
I can fill two crates...almost.
I would really only fill it with rifles for the photo ops, though. All my sks's are kept in safes.

Hey BB, did you end up getting the crate? If you did, I could trace a pattern or two for the inserts that are missing and send them to you. You'd have to put a little felt on the inserts, but that's no biggie. Let me know if that'd help you out.
I imagine the owner you are buying it from had to pay the premium shipping, too, and is trying to recoup that and make a few bucks for resale. If you could get him down to $150, or less, it would be close to what the rest of us had to pay after shipping. Good luck!

very nice of you FC. thumb1
Thank you kindly for the offer, 1stC.
But, I did not get the crate.
Had I gotten it, your offer would have answered the question I would have posted when it arrived.
