Red Headed Russians

[matty 810]

The spy case of that hot little number in NYC has got me to thinking I need to get an SKS, with a nicely red-tinted stock. Which of the country variants (Russia/Yugo/Chinese/Albanian, etc.) is best overall for reliability, accuracy ( know its a 3-4 MOA rifle)?

I love my Yugo 59/66A1... and I haven't even shot it yet! Beechwood stock, rubber butt-pad, flip-up night sights, grenade launcher and sight.

One reason Yugo SKS rifles (in fact all Yugoslav small arms seem "beefier") is because Yugoslav cartridges are much "hotter" loads than other similar "East Bloc" ammo, plus since Yugoslavia's manufacturing capacity was relatively limited, each weapon had to be more durable.
