I was wondering what is better a Russian or Chinese SKS.
Do you possibly know where I can get a crate of them?I have a Chinese SKS and the "Paratrooper Carbine", actually just a cut down SKS that sold a lot of rifles because of the name. Both were brand new out of the box. Plenty accurate for Deer under 150 yards and completely reliable. The Russian ones I have limited knowledge of, but for quality I'd say the Yugoslavian 59/66 out shines both. Very accurate, and the gas cut off turns it into a straight pull manual rifle for training. Heavier though. $120.00 each for six. new in the crate. Those were the day's.View attachment 932081 . .
Nowadays? Haha, aint gonna happen.Do you possibly know where I can get a crate of them?
I saw some of the rifles Classic had at a gun show, and most were in rough condition. Found one in great condition at another vendor for a few dollars more.The Chinese SKS rifles bring sold today by Classic and PSA have been in storage in Albania for like 30 years. They are a total roll of the dice. You might get one that cleans up well, one with no bluing but functions properly, or you might get one covered in rust or a broken stock.
Mine is actually in excellent condition from Classic. I’m very pleased with it.The Chinese SKS rifles bring sold today by Classic and PSA have been in storage in Albania for like 30 years.
