Right now there's the North Korean sks which is around $3,000+++. Silly isn't it. I stuck through thick and thin with my $59 norinco sks. Spending $3k for an sks that's three n frame s&w revolvers, well close.
My very first c&r surplus military rifle was a Turkish m38 8mm Mauser from aim surplus for $39.95.

7.62x39 is .312. in actuality bullet diameter is 7.92. There were never .308 SKS and Yugo is no different. Although it will vary slightly from country to country no SKS were .308. If there were barrels would open up quickly..... squeezing a .310 - .312 bullet through a .308 barrel. Mosin and AK are the same.....7.92mm. 7.62x54 was a derivative of the 8x52R Mannlicher
.308 is a western bullet dimension. The closest to .308 eastern Europe had was the 7.62x25 Tokarev, which measured 7.82.
