Norinco or Yugo SKS???

[Maverick21]

Getting an SKS and need to decide between a Norinco and a Yugo. I've heard from some that the Yugos are junk but have also heard they are built like a tank compared to the Norinco but the Norinco has the chrome barrel. Which do you guys think is better and WHY?

Consideration:
-Function
-Accuracy (relative accuracy...)
-Durability
-Other?

I like both and have both. I would say go with the yugo. It is built more like a russian and there are ones that are like new out there. The crome only makes it easyier to clean and isnt that big of a deal.

I would rather have the Norinco. I don't like the added length and weight of the gernade launcher. I also prefer the chrome bore of the Norinco.

I don't think any of there guys said the yugo was junk.They said they liked
the Russian,& some of the others better.I have a yugo & like it alot.I shoot
my yugo alot & it's a great gun.

Both the Norinco and the Yugo are good rifles. I would buy whatever you can get for a good price.

I've heard they're junk from a few people that probably had no experience with them. My theory for that is because they were more available and cheaper for some time.

So I guess I should just split the difference and get both. That's what sounds good to me.

I'd prefer a well-assembled Norinco for a budget SKS.

Wasn't aware that Yugo SKS's didn't have a chrome bore.
How about their AK's?
