Yugo or russian would be best. The chinese ones don't rate that high

Hi and welcome!
Check out the Equipment Exchange (EE) forum below on this site.
Simply apply to the moderator get access.
Then look for a Yugo SKS or place a wanted to buy (WTB) ad for the same. Yugo SKS' are very well made with milled, not stamped parts, but they do not have chromed barrels.
I favor the Yugo SKS Model 59 because it is lighter and less complex than the grenade firing Model 59/66.
However, since you will be shooting corrosive ammo, you should clean any SKS right after you finish firing it (hour or two) so the lack of the chrome bore is not an issue.
Hope this helps.

welcome, check "milsurp forum" then "SKS sub forum" .
depends on how much you wanna spend.
1. russian $400 and up , avail hardly on EE, havent been made since 1955.
2. yugo M59 $300-350 , some avail. but havent seen them at dealer for a couple of years . with launcher M59/66 $350-400.
3. chinese reg $170-225 , plenty avail. some dealers just received a shipment, sold out fast under $200 and if you are curious about the "D" $300-400 , some avail. but not made any more.
as you can see PRICE ARE = TO SUPPLY .
