Hey Guys,

I have a chance to buy either a Chinese Type 56 Sino-Soviet SKS or a Yugo SKS M59/66. Both are in decent shape and cost about $400.00 each.

I know Yugo barrels are not chrome lined and are heavier. Both have milled parts and are true military versions of this great rifle.

Which one would you pick if you could only afford one or the other....?

Thanks !!!
