Hello once again!!
I will continue with my story. Since local stores were not a viable option to purchase SKS Rifle i turned to the internet. my search continued for a little while. i had no idea which SKS to buy. Apparently, a lot of countries of Soviet union block where manufacturing their own version of SKS rifle. Russian models of SKS are more expensive, Norico (chicom manufacturer) SKS like paratrooper had detachable mags or even 75 round drums(if you in the state like NY or California its not even an option)
there is also Albanian SKS rifles, Asian SKS and others. personally i chose Yugo or Yugoslavian SKS rifles. Best Bang For your Buck!!! The Yugoslav M59/66A1 has been equipped with luminous sights and grenade launcher plus blade bayonet which looks better than spike on Chinese models. This is optimum set for rifle under $1000 dollars.
After research and long bidding process i have been able to purchase my first Yugo SKS on online auction.(that is entirely different topic which probably will need to be discussed at later date)As promised by the seller rifle was in excellent condition, bluing is great, bore is perfect, stock has minor scratches!!! however, here comes a down side, its covered with glue grease - cosmoline, it took hours of work and $20 worth of different detergents to get rid of it!!!!(will have separate post on how to clean of cosmoline from your rifle)
