So ....... why exactly are the Chinese SKS more accurate than the Russian's ?

Definitely not the case in my experiences. About the same accuracy. The most accurate SKS I ever owned was a butt ugly 1950 refurb. The second most accurate SKS I ever owned was, funny enough, a 1949 refurb. The later was a real beauty and I'm kicking myself for selling it!!! I find that the Russian pieces vary from very accurate (for an SKS) to pretty inaccurate! Most of the Chinese specimens were "middle of the road" accuracy. Overall, the nicer Russians are much prettier than any Chinese I've seen.

Just an FYI, I searched EE for **nice** un-screwed-with SKS's, Russian or Chinese, and there aren't many for sale!!

So speculation trumps real experience . I see. The Ukraine ones weren't laminate. You obviously have never seen one. These guns were un issued and if they were, they didn't let them shoot them or take them appart. Again, I doubt your friend or your other sources know what happened to every single SKS. It's speculation.

So why do you think Chinese sks are known to be more accurate than the Russian sks?

and no sks were made with laminate stocks (all are refurbished)

(and the aren't referring to the commercial norinco's

There are two types of Laminate stocks out there, refurb replacement and factory.

-Refurb Laminate stocks are wide at the grip, have no factory inspection mark and the handguard is non laminate.

-Factory laminate stock from late production SKSs are narrow at the grip. They also have Tula inspection marks around the cross bolt and the handguard is also laminate. Most have a red color to them (unless they went through refurb and were sanded).

Very good! This kind of detailed information is what I'm in need of so that I can work on my collection. I have been holding off on buying
a 1956 SKS because of the added complexity of needing to identify the correct stock.
