Buy recommendations Can’t make up my mind

Does anyone think the Maksai is going to be banned? I’m having a hard time swallowing a massive amount for it, when I could look at a sksd for around the same.
Any thoughts? I’ve had a restarted license before the huge ban, but I’m scared to buy anything remotely “tactical” lmao.

Sks-d is a poorer quality commercial copy that at this stage is about as expensive as a makasi or Carmel anyways.

The quality difference is negligible. Cosmetic at best.

I’ve heard of inferior build quality and issues with magazine reliability leading to stoppages and the like.

Honestly just a commercial bubba to make it more appealing in the west.

The SKS Ds that I’ve owned (3 of them) have all been more reliable than my Yugoslavian m59/66 which is credited as being the highest quality SKS
