dont understand your question , do you mean SKS vs norinco M14s?

and also you can not post duplicate thread.

Norinco is a company that makes many types of firearms. The SKS was made by many countries, including Russia, Yugo and China. I believe the Russian and Yugo's are better quality but don't have the chromed barrels that the Chinese version have.

Norinco also makes/made the M305 hich is a clone of the M14, a very good deal

IMHO early Chinese SKS's (1950's, and 60's) are great rifles, and are well built, probably because at the time they had Ivan standing over their shoulders telling them how to built them.

LOL, but who was watching in the 60s when ivan was sent home packing in 1959 ?

You need to be specific. Your question is meaningless.

Who's selling those? Frontier? SIR?

So, we are comparing SKS as a rifle against company that sells them. Hmm... which one is better... I would take Norinco two please, wrap it up.

My Chinese SKS stays open on the last shot. I seem to recall the Norinco's didn't. Is that correct? I'm basing this on rifles I handled about 15 years ago so my memory might be a tad fuzzy.

From what I understand. Only the SKS-D had the last shot bolt hold open feature.

My built in the 80's Chinese SKS has last shot bolt hold open, as does my other Chinese one built in the 50's.

im not sure what you meant .

but all SKS has a bolt hold feature while the "D" and "M" do not , basicly any SKS that takes AK mag do not have this feature .

My bad, misremembered. So if the early(and later) Chinese ones had it, most likely the Russia ones will too?

 

[Stevo]

The Russian, Yugo, Chinese, Albanian SKSs all have the hold open. It's absolutely necessary if chargers are the loading method.
