    I've never seen or heard of a non Chinese SKS in NZ. Not to say they don't exist.

    There are a few Russian ones here. Not common and most people keep them once they have them.

    A friend of mine had a Russan SKS it was more accurate than the Chinese built stuff, He worked for one of the importers
    and shot many Chinese SKS's never found one that shot better than the old Russian, used it to take quite a lot of deer ant goats
