Got my UPS notice Saturday, should be getting it this week.

Side question: does anyone shoot a Yugo M67 surplus?  The cleaning looks simpler than an AK...

Yugo M67 ammo is corrosive.  VZ2008s don't have chrome lined barrels. 

So you have to make sure to clean it day of and then the day following to ensure you get no corrosion. 

Personally, I stock primarily Golden Tiger FMJ (most accurate/consistent 7.62x39, thinner jacket deforms more readily and tumbles sooner, lacquer cases and sealed necks and primers, higher velocity than most 7.62x39; SG Ammo is supposed to have more in come January) and Barnaul 125 GR soft points as my primary bulk ammo reserves (US Made soft points perform better but are more than 2x as expensive as the Russian SPs).  For home defense, I use/keep a couple hundred rounds the Hornady SST polymer tip stuff.  And I do keep some of the Tula/Herters ~154 GR soft points for hunting hogs on hand as well.
Biggest gripe for me is that increasingly the lacquer cased stuff is much harder to find, excepting Golden Tiger and Monarch FMJ (sold by Academy but ~$1 per 20 more expensive than Barnual, who makes it, polymer coated cases)...

Can't find this or other links through quick searches (have reviewed before), but here are some pics:
Basically, polymer corrodes nearly at the rate of bare steel, silver bear a little better but not by much, and then the lacquer is multiples better.  Will eventually corrode but much much better.

Yugo M67 gel block, can't find a video:


And don't see 154gr gel block video either.  Basically more penetration but less expansion than the 125gr SP.

I have Golden Tiger in reserve with my good scotch and the Cubans...:)

  I have ran M67 with my SKS's and a Yugo N Pap.  I like it because its accurate, consistent, and nothing motivates a guy to clean his rifle like corrosive mil-surp..lol.  I had more problems cleaning the N Pap's gas system, the non chrome barrel was not too hard to clean.  Just wondered if the open design would be easier to keep up with.
     When I got it it was cheaper than commercial.  I have some Herters that doesn't shoot too bad, and have used Wolf to some degree,  I am just punching paper and steel gongs so penetration is secondary to me.  I haven't tried the Hornady, but on occasion if PPU is on sale I will grab a box or two of that for something different. 
   I haven't shot Barnaul to my knowledge, but that gives me a good excuse to go find some today!

Well I finally broke down, ordered a VZ2008 from PSA today.
Are these what some folks are referring to as third generation?

This is strange.  PSA now has the VZ2008 up for sale with or without the bayonet, both for the usual $399.99.  Both appear to be in stock.  It must be an oversight on their part, since I can't think of any states where these rifles are legal but bayonets are illegal.

With bayonet:

Could be some buyers didnt pass their NICS check, too.  Or just returns.
