These will vary with people opinion.

Russian are regarded highly. As are Polish. And Chinese.

Bulgarian is what lots of people value. Hungarian also.

So, Although not finished with the care of some of the above,
many Romainian rifles are trouble free, and just as accurate.

I tend to like Polish fit, anf finish. Bulgarian as second. There will
be other rankings with different people.

Agreed:

My take -

Russian/Bulgarian - same thing. Arsenal Bulgaria techs are trained in Russia
Finnish
Israeli
Hungarian
Polish
Yugoslavian (Yugos do not have chromed lined barrels-US versions either)
Chinese
Romanian

The reason why I rank Chinese AK's lower than most. Most Chinese steel produced in the 70's - 80's was not on the same par as the steel produced in Europe.
Thats why all of our defunct steel mills were bought up by the Chinese in the early 90's and shipped over to China - even our 40+ year old steel mills were of better quality then theirs. Thats why they used thicker sheet metal on their stamped receiverss - the steel was not as hard as the steel produced in Europe
