[SKSer45]

Ahh romanians...not to be an a hole but I hate those. Worst sks' along with yugos.
Ok so what makes para so value is their availability. That and they are chinese. Those two factors add solid bucks. Average tag for those is 400-500 click on my youtube page bellow. I did a review on it

Why are the paras more valuable than a run of the mill Romanian or Yugo? Is it simply an availability issue? Are they somehow fitted and finished better? (coming from the PRC, I would find that astonishing) are they more accurate? Are they significantly lighter or better handling due to the shorter OAL? Just asking - I've owned a Romanian SKS, but not really an SKS aficionado by any means.

For my money, the Paras are how SKSs should have been made to begin with. They are balanced well and very fast handling. The Chinese guns are made solid, even the stamped ones. Paras are rare, harder to find, and holding their value. I like SKSs, I have 4 and will buy more if the price is right. PAX
