    Mine was of 50s vintage and had a milled receiver. Quality was outstanding.

    Remember, the SKS wasn't designed to be a tack driver.

    My mom had a Chinese one, my dad had a Russian one. I plan on buying one around my birthday.

    Ah yes, the old reliable SKS. Great weapon for the untrained soldier.

    I don't see how the untrained. The untrained solider would much be more likely to use a Mosin-nagant or a Ruger 10-.22

    There will be no problem with reliability (talking about Soviet versions) but comrades on the Russian gunforum strongly recommend to select SKS with the best accuracy of hits (to try several examples on the shooting-ground). They really differ (they recommend to select at least one from five ones). For example, all versions of AK (meaning Russian - Izhevsk) are similar in this sense. As far as I understood, there were some problems on the barrel line with SKS.

    It may be worth looking at the Yugoslav models if one can be found. The quality *may* be better than on some of the Soviet versions and will almost certainly surpass the Chinese models.

    Yugoslav SKS is great. I used it through my childhood often for shooting rabbits and pheasants. It is easy to maintain and you can get bullets in almost any houshold on Balkan. Absolutely no recoil and very precise. That were very important features for me cause before I had Winchester 30-30 and it almost blew my shoulder away.

    You have to consider that the SKS was made in many different countries over the years, so there's bound to be some variation in quality. Also, aftermarket parts don't always fit models from every country.
