What do you mean “even” the Chinese ones? They are literally better made than the Russian ones

Historically, the Chinese SKS rifles were always priced cheaper than the Russian ones. To me, it doesn't even make a freaking difference, but for some reason, saying one SKS came from the "motherland" gives it a price bump.

Edit to Add: On FOC, a Chinese SKS is $840-880 while a Russian SKS is $995
