I've two Russians and one Chinese. Russian hands down better finished and tighter all around.

I've had a Yugo and a Chinese.

Yugo was better all around. Quality of manufacture, durability and fit of parts were all fantastic.

The Chinese M59 is alright, but they made it more for numbers than quality. Yugoslav had limited resources and funds, their toys were made to last.

Bah, original all the way! Russian SKS cant be beat.

Cheers,

I've had a Russian, a military chinese and a Yugo. The Yugo was clearly better made and more accurate than the Russian, and the Chinese was just very crude machining and poorly fitted.

I've heard that the East German SKS was very well made.
