I have seen all of them. Russian, Chinese, and Romanian are slimmer and lighter, but talking about quality.... Russian holds a special position in SKS, they were the 'original' ones, let's skip that. Chinese SKS (so called 'Type 56 Semi") span various levels of qualities, some were well made, some were not -- especially those commercial ones targeted specificly for the U.S. civilian gun market. Romanian SKS? my opinion has NEVER been high.

I have not seen Albanian and North Korean SKS yet.... an industrial environemnt is not supposed to be able to make good guns without also making some other high quality products..... was Yugoslavian industry an exception? Probably they also make some other good stuffs but I don't know.
