This factory 6602 Norinco, the only one I own but it's quite the shooter.

I for one will just be happy when I finally find one and have the cash to pay for it. Looks like I will be stuck with a Norinco though.

My favorite SKS is my only SKS, a 1973 "Yugo" M59/66A1.
It's a little front heavy like all Yugo's, but it's a great shooter.

Will do Howie, next time I have them out.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I think this is my new favorite

"K" series non refurb in original laminate stock.

But the one I shoot all the time lately is my factory 625 Type 56, because I don't care what happens to it if, for example, I didn't get to clean it for a week after shooting or something.

I like the M59/66 A1, and not only because it is the only SKS I have...

I like the little things, like the shutoff and night sights. Wish I could get a training grenade and some blanks to mess around with, but haven't seen any.

my yugo 59/66a1 because they were the last ones made. i was able to find a new never fired one for 350 bucks. i like all the bells and whistles on the a1. only real knock on the yugo is no chrome barrel. ok so i guess i can only put 10,000 rounds threw it :big shock:

[quote="Drago"]That's a hard question. Some of mine are "prettier" than others, but some other's are more rare. I'd have to say, since I'm an Ex-DDR SKS collector, that my '49 Ex-DDR is my favorite,.....

Drago, i sent ya an email. Please respond if you have time

I only have three; two Tulas and one PLA. As far as the quality of the rifles the Chinese is the best. The one I like the most is a '52 Tula, because it was made in such a damn good year.

Funny thing is that I got a Serbian practice grenade, and a bunch of blanks, since then.

My favorite one is an easy one, as I only have one SKS right now. It's a Sino-Soviet/Sino-Albanian Sterile (Ghost), with some stock graffiti on it. I love the been there, done that look of it.
