I have a Romanian SAR-1 and I want to add another rifle with the same chambering to my collection. I have decided to get an SKS.
I called around to 4 local gun shops. Only one has them in stock. They have a "Chinese one" with a wood stock for sale. I asked if it was a Norinco. They said it was - and it is priced at $299. They also have a "Russian" one with a synthetic stock for $349.
Is there a consensus among the masses as to which of these two (Chinese or Russian) is of the higher quality? I want to "pull the trigger" on the purchase by the end of the week. I have seen neither of them - but plan to go in a couple of days.
Helpful comments will be appreciated.
