KVar had some black ones from bulgaria. I bought a bunch of them. I think they were around $9. Northridge has the set of 4 orange bakelights with a pouch, strippers for $25. RPB has them for $5 each. CB

For the price, the ubiquos (sp.) orange East Germans are hard to beat. I bought mine at 4-6 bucks each. I reserve the Bulgarians and Polish ones for special occasions.

i really see no 'best'. they all work perfectly.

from the used $3 east german bakelites to the bulgarian polymers to the romanian steel...they all run fine in my '74's.

They all work just fine, and E Ger bakes are the best deal. Paint them if you have a poly stock and are cheap, leave them as-is if a wood stock, or hunt down Bulgys at twice the price.
Again, they all work fine.
Tulas are Russian and expensive as very rare, but no better IMO.
