Those Barrel shrouds look pretty sharp where did you get those?
Get a yugo, you never know when that grenade launcher will come in handy
Unless you live in California where the potential for you to use your grenade launcher or add one and use with real grenades are so high that they ban the Yugo SKS unless you have a welded muzzle brake that you can't cut-off because of the spot weld is SOOOOOOO strong it'll stop anyone...
Sorry to Californians who support our RKBA - don't mean to rub it in.

Reason: apology to our fellow G&G friends in California
Never much cared for the Norinco honestly. I feel the Yugo is a much better build quality rifle with all milled parts. You can find Yugo's that are unissued and they will be extremely accurate like mine. Shot a Norinco and not anywhere close. Plus, the grenade launcher,etc makes the Yugo very unique. The only SKS varient I like better than the Yugo is the original Russian ones.
Ok i need some opinions, which one do you prefer and why?
the yugo sks or the norinco sks? im looking for a new project and want to buy a sks but dont know which one.
My local gun shop Johnsons True Value has a Norinco already with a nice Tapco set-up for 359.95. It has no problems. 972 compliant, and they will ship it to your local FFL dealer. check out there website and call them up.
I've owned both, and kept the Yugo. It's better made, and the lack of a chrome bore hasn't been a problem because (Doh!) I clean the thing after I shoot with it.
That said, I had to glass bed both of them to get them to shoot. I haven't heard or read of anyone else complaining about this, but both the Norinco and the Yugo suffered from the same problem out of the box: the entire barrel/receiver group shifted fore & aft in the stock a good 1/16 inch or so. I could push the barrel back & forth and feel the receiver move in the stock. Both rifles shot two groups onto one target, depending on how the steel parts bounced.
A little home gunsmithing with an Accraglas kit solved the problem. Now the Yugo, with open sights, will hold the 9 ring all day long with cheapo Wolf ball. (Sold the Norinco).

Once again, no matter to us that religiously clean our rifles after every shooting session

You mean Kommie Kalifornia?

The gas tube/barrel have always been kept very clean, and the mag spring seems pretty strong. The only ammo has been Monarch or Wolf. It might need a chamber brush more often.
Despite the jams, I never considered selling it, and with the
Tech Sight, it is a very different rifle. How, you might wonder?
My first group at 50 yards (just a soft support under the barrel) was similar to an Enfield #4 group, with a few of the holes touching each other.
And a 'dark bore' is nothing to worry about, as long as it's not majorly pitted. My 'experienced' Yugo M59/66 has a good bore, a bit dark - it shoots honest one inch groups on the hundred yard target using a 6X scope and good commercial ammo. Same with my pristine /26\ Chinese SKS.
Both function flawlessly. So it comes down to personal preference.
And since we clean our rifles after shooting, the corrosion issue is a non-issue. We don't necessarily NEED a chrome bore.
Thing to consider,who ever had the Yugo before you,and that could be a long time ago,might have used corrosive ammo and not cleaned it properly,soap and water,then oil.
Another thing to consider,if useing steel cased ammo it extracts easier from a chrome chamber.
Check the bore and chamber before buying it.
JMHO.

In my limited expereince the Chinses seem to shoot tighter groups for me, in a properly fitting stock for me.
But I like the feel of the Yugo stock better.
My last SKS was a "Chugo" a Chinese rifle fitted into a Yugo stock. I'd love to have a Chinese "para" SKS set up the same way. Would be a nice brush rifle IMHO.
That's the cool thing is we have choices bertween these to own what works best for us.
Unlike the countries they were from were the soldeirs had to learn to like what they were issued.
get the chinese sks to fit on the yugo stock? I like the yugo stock the best. The crossbolt of the stock looks like it is on the way of the action dropping into place. Did you file down the back and top of the crossbolt?
How did you

And Chinese wood stocks are junk! They look like crap after only a few years.

Personally I never cared for the Norinco's as when I looked at both side by side the build quality was better on the Yugo. And from what I have read because Yugoslavia had limited mfgr capacity they put more emphasis on build quality.
That being said I don't like the later Yugo's with the grenade launcher as between the launcher, grenade sight and longer bayonet the added weight to the muzzle end gives the 59/66 poor balance so it's better as a project gun. If you can find a 59 without the extra junk it's handling is a lot better as is the machining which I feel shows more Russian influence since all other mfgrs were set up and trained initially by them.
