Russian VS Chinese SKS

[gristle111]

love the china sks. ordered!!

You guys are crazy. Maybe this beat up Russian vs this newer clean Chinese, the Chinese takes it, but, a clean Russian is soooo much nicer than an equally clean Chinese.

I have yet to see a Russian SKS shoot more accurately than the Chinese version with those markings (sandbagged and benched). I have seen some come close but never be a clear winner in that department. Not to say there are not ones out there that can but in the 7-8 head to head trials we did for grins and giggles, the Chinese version would always be 0.5 to 1.0 MOA tighter.

I have to admit, a newer Russian or one in great condition takes the prize for looks and appearance.

bunch more back in-stock. First batch were all very nice condition and sold out very quickly. Second batch looks just as nice.

My experience as well as well as your observation in regards to looks. Not sure why but it may have something to do with the fact that the Russians came with a none chrome lined bore at first while the Chinese are all chrome lined.

The Chinese ones look alot nicer and more polished. No personal gripe with either one.

The chrome lined barrel isnt exactly a selling point for me especially with the whole corrosive ammo issue. My buddy has had his Ruski SKS for at least 10 years and has never cleaned it after at least 2000 rounds of various ammo.

These rifles are made to be tough no matter what. Just buy one!

I have a Chinese one older with beat up stock and not one # matches but shoots great.I have about 1200 rounds down range with no issues.Fun and frugal.I am hinting to the queen for xmas but she thinks snow tires are a better fit.

How is this even a question, we live in Chinada….both mine are Russian

When his firing pin gets stuck in the bolt and he has a negligent discharge of four extra rounds full auto, he'll rethink that whole cleaning thing.

I prefer the Russian. The wood is beefier and and seems stronger to me. Especially the laminates.

He always wanted a full auto!!!!!

We need to ban that

Russian laminates were the first choice for sure , but there seems to be very few around these days ; so Russian B Grade and Chinese seems to be the only options left for those that missed the Russian Laminate's boat .
