Favorite SKS
Out of the four I have, Albanian, Norinco, Yugo 59/66 and Russian I like the Albanian the most. It was fairly rough compared to the others when I got it but after some TLC it didn't look half bad. Not sure what it is about it that puts it above the others, the AK style bolt handle and the upper handguard give it a different/unique appearance but other than that it's still pretty much like any other SKS. I just like it.
Anyone else got a particular favorite?

The only one I have is a norinco. I love it though. Accurate little rifle! And I would like to see a pic of your Albanian if you don't mind sometime brother.
What's up my nigga's
Only one I have is a 1958 Romanian. I've come very close to buying several Ruskies and a few Yugos, but never did.
The Romanian fits in well with my collection, as my Romanian firearms now compose their own sub-collection.

All I have left are 2 Norinco Paratroop models. I love the shortness of them, but wish they would accept AK drum mags...

I've owned; Russian, Yugoslav, Romanian and an Albanian. The Russian (laminated stock) was the best looking. The Albanian was the most different looking and it was the most accurate. It was the last to go, but gone they all are.
i had an sks from everywhere except N.korea and the Albanian was my favorite as well.
If I ever ran across another one at a decent price I wouldnt hesitate to buy it.
