So I'm looking to pick up a couple of SKS's, and wondering if anyone has tried out the new Chinese military one's a few places are carrying. How do they compare to a nice russian refurb for accuracy and build quality? Any opinions?
 
Red rifle question =P

Unissued Russians are recognised as tops with the unissued Yugo M59/66 in second (who doesn't love a rifle with a folding bayonet AND a grenade launcher hey?), unissued PLA (Chinese) rifles in third and the Norinco commercial stuff bringing in a distant fourth if you have a need for AK magazines.

Unless you're an expert you won't notice the difference shooting a Chinese or Russian. CGN member/dealer Weimajack has some very snazzy hand picked Russians and Chinese for sale on the EE - If you can't be there to pick it out yourself (or don't know what you're looking at) it's nice to have somebody do it for you.

Yugos pop up on the EE every so often but you can buy three of the others for what you'll usually pay.

This has been asked more times than I care to remember. Check out the Red Rifles section of the forum and do some scrolling. You will find what you're looking for, and then some.
