I personally like the folding black plastic stock, lets you do the pistol
grip from the hip thing and also folds out for a little more precise aiming.

I also like the 30 rd banana clip, but the 50 rd clip gets jammed up too
easy.

Not that I'd have anything like that...

Chinese metal is quality and metal parts are well made.  The wood on
military rifles is utilitarian, at best, and never really high
quality.

Chinese SKSs are better than others, like Yugoslavian.  Yugoslavia has
no significant local source for chrome and did not chrome line the
barrels and things like the Chinese.  A lot of military SKS (AK, too)
ammo is corrosive, some more than others.
The 7.62X39 round that SKS and AKs shoot is about equivalent to the
common 30-30.
For $99 in the early 90s you could get a new, Chinese SKS semi auto rifle.
Now you can sell them for around $350.
There were some Vietnam era red fiberglass stocks that are not pretty,
but resilient.
