Actually.. ours might have been Yugoslavian because this was in '92

That would explain the quality.

I do honestly believe that the Yugoslavian manufacturing industry was conceived solely to make the Italian manufacturing industry look decent.

My Yugo SKS is pretty solid (better than the Chinese ones, but arguably not as nice as the original Russian ones though...).

I just found this in the PAP Wikipedia article [1]:

  > In most variants (Yugoslav models being the most notable
  > exception), the barrel is chrome-lined

That reinforces my comment about the Yugoslav manufacturing industry!

Interesting, I didn't know that they made a PAP. What year was it manufactured? I suppose the real question is, how well does the bolt lock and slide? The furniture is of less concern.

I've never handled a PAP, they're not common where I live. I have seen the difference between the Russian and the Chinese AKs, though, and so I do understand what you mean.

I'm not in the States so I don't have it handy (gave it to my father)...I think it was a late 1970s model? Bolt was pretty smooth, only had a few misfires over the years, and I was running Wolf ammo and barely cleaning the weapon.

Minor correction to the minor correction: according to Wikipedia, Gorenje has been owned by Chinese company Hisense since 2018, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorenje

The quality may have gone up. Hisense did pretty good digital TVs.
