alrighty then , some one did this

aside what people say about how chicom SKS rifles are junk , they ar in my opinion #2 second to the Russian , there are lesser quality SKS rifles that are more desirable simply due to the numbers game

I've owned and own Russins, Yugos, and Chinese and I would buy an early machined Chinese over a Russian just because of the chromed barrel. but that is just me... I currently have 6 SKS's one looks really bad, but it still shoots accurately - I have yet to have a "bad" Chinese SKS (I haven't had a bad Russin either, though.. ) My yugo had a worn barrel from corrosive ammo, but the price was right and I have a brand-new replacement barrel just going to be a lot of work to change it so it on the bottom of my todo list.
