Whats better a Russian SKS or a Chinese SKS. I am sorry that I have uploaded the same question again but I want to see how the poll option works.
They were also prone to erosion, gas leakage, and eventual short stroking or failure to cycle at all. I havent looked into it lately, but at one time replacement valves were hard to come by.The Yugoslavian grenade launcher cut off is a handy training tool. It turns it into a bolt action
I bought a crate of six, and still have four. Never a single malfunction. I'm not using corrosive ammunition so no sign of corrosion. Not experiencing any of those problems. I've had them for over a decade. The two I gave to relatives get Whitetail almost every year.They were also prone to erosion, gas leakage, and eventual short stroking or failure to cycle at all.

Oh sure, and you may have them a lifetime and never have a issue. Mine did, though, and a quick internet search showed it to be a known problem on high mileage examples. Since factory spares were unobtanium back in the '90s, there were several US machine shops that were producing replacement valves, usually in stainless steel.I bought a crate of six, and still have four.

LOL! SKS & Accuracy..... Two words which do NOT belong in the same sentence.
Have to use HOA(Hour of Angle) instead of the normal MOA!
I had a friend who thought the term “Like shootin’ fish in a barrel” was meant towards a difficult task...until he he started using something other than his SKS. People love commenting on how TOUGH, and RELIABLE they are... Uh-Huh.... so is a Hi-point “Yeet Cannon”! I don’t have one of those either! LOL!
I’m just clowning guys... I actually do regret not buying a case or two back in the day. They are fine. Although I can’t imagine given the choice of an AR or SKS and STILL going for the SKS! Must have some pretty crappy ARs.
