Now if it's a Russian vs a Romanian, I'd vote for the Romanian. A lot less Romanian's exist and they are the first direct clone of the Russian rifle.

can do better than direct clone, how about siblings ? the early factory 26 chinese SKS were made from the same machinery that made tula SKS.

you wouldnt be able to tell them apart (not looking at markings and wood).

A lot of the Chinese SKS's have pinned barrels, and some people don't like that.

And the pinned barrels make no difference unless you are fitting a new stock.

And if you covered the markings on the receiver, you wouldn't notice how the Russian is supposedly better.

I would personally pick a Chinese over a Russian because they are less collectible, shoot the same, cost less, and I don't feel bad about beating it up a bit. I would only pick a Russian if it was the same cost as a run of the mill Norinco.
