Gun and gear reviews Regretted to sell my Chinese sks.

I owned a unfired sks bought for 5xx as my first gun, and sold it for 700 after 3 months. I was happy to get rid of a 70 years old gun at that time. After one year, I have tried many guns from my friend and myself, like .22lr , shotgun, lever, bolt, I finally understand the value of a sks. Should I get a new one? I have been thinking it for the whole night. I cannot work, sleep and eat. Please help me.

Its a roll of the dice with any gun made under communism. Of the ones ive handled the russian was the nicest, the Chinese ones felt gritty and have terrible soft wood
