SKS buying tips?

[Jguy101]

I'm looking to buy an SKS pretty soon. Any information on what to look for in a Yugo or Chinese?

They are both good. Yugo has gadgets on it. Chinese has chrome lined barrel. Get one of each???

I like the barrel on my Norinco. Look into one of the sweet Hogue rubber stocks, too.
My tip: don't overpay. The SKS is available cheaply if you shop around--there are some on this board right now.

The Yugo has a great stock with a rubber butt pad. The pad really isn't neccesary, but it makes for a nice length of pull for me. The Chineese and Russians are too short in my opinion.
