Hey guys I'm looking at getting another SKS because I think they're probably the last milsurp rifle that is really affordable and of respectable quality. I've already got a Norinco outfitted with a Tapco stock and a few of the Tapco 20 round mags. Before anyone starts yelling about it, yes, I kept the original stock and 10 round box mag in case I want to switch it back to the stock configuration.
Anyways I refuse to pay AR/AK prices for a Russian SKS so it is between the Norinco and Yugo SKS. Based solely on looks I'm wanting a Yugo but the prices are very similar so I'm not really set on either one 100%. Aside from the Yugo not having a chrome lined bore and being equipped with a grenade launcher, is there any other real performance/functional difference between the two?
Which would you prefer and why?
