Original post::
Which SKS are better than others and drawbacks? What are the main things you should know to properly maintain one. I have a chance to get one at a very good deal with extras not sure, but think it is a Yugo. Figured I would get advice here before I see it, I am told it is unfired mint.

Out of the entire pile, my BF's Yugo SKS with all original parts is my favorite to shoot. I cannot recommend it any more than that. I find it much more fun than the AR and much less painful than the Nagant. It's a nice in between gun.

It's a lot of fun, and I don't think you'll regret it.

Yugo > Chinese > Russian

Buy it ASAP.

You would take Chinese over Russian?

That should be:
Yugo < Chinese < Russian

And that is in both value and function/reliability.
Yugos do not have chrome lined bores.
I currently own at least one of each.

I haver a Chinese and I love it. Never had a problem with it. Been owning it for over 10 years. Have folding stock, bayonet, scope, the works and I love it!!

I thought the Yugos had chrome lining too?

Discharge what I typed.

 

[sksshooter]

nope yugos didnt have chrome lined but they do have a much heavier barrel than the others.

 

[shoalsfugro]

nope yugos didnt have chrome lined but they do have a much heavier barrel than the others.

that is my understanding built heavier due to lack of chrome. Yugo has no chrome minerals and not on the best terms with russia. Does the mags interchange between models?
