OK, but how do the yugos match up.Mind seems very well made.My son in law
has a Chinese that I never took time to really look at but it seems to shoot
well even though the wood on the stock is not as good as mind.Just some thoughts here.

The Yugos are good rifles as well, but lack of chrome lined chamber and bore takes points away especially when most of us are shooting dirty or corrosive surplus ammo. The quality of the wood usually is better on chinese than yugos in my experience, although I had a yugo with a very nice wood stock at one time.

1-Russian
2-Very earliest Chinese (Sino-Soviet) which were effectively Russian
2-East German which were also effectively Russian
4-Most other Chinese
4-Albanian
4-Romanian
4-Yugo
All the others are just too rare to really fit in such a listing. Actually, so is the East German.

This is an opinion based on past ownership of several of these models. You could quibble about some of the rankings, but not about No. 1.
