The AK was primarily designed by M.T. Kalashnikov and Hugo Schmeisser. The SKS was designed by S.G. Simonov. Some SKS carbines are both very well made and accurate. Additionally, some SKSs were designed for use with detachable magazines. There was also a sniper version that used the same (PU) scope that is normally seen on the Mosin Nagant M91/30 sniper rifle. Some of the SKSs from China that were made for export to the US in the late 80s or early 90s are pretty sad. Those made in the 60s can be very nice.
Yep...my bad...I knew that but why did I have that other thought stuck in my mind...
Mine wasn't too bad....the laminated stock was rather crappy...the metal parts were a lot better.
Was drooling for a Russian made Sniper Dragonuv at the time but just didn't have the cash for one then....
