Here is an F.T.C. Woodland Hills, CA., Chinese AK-47. Later called R.A.I. Woodland Hills. (Royal Arms International) This gun is designated as an AK-47S, which denotes it as a very close copy of a true Chinese military rifle. It is said that these guns were made at the Jing An factory by the Chinese Military Police. It was certainly brought in during the early importation of the Chinese AKs. There is no factory Arsenal stamp, and few markings at all. This one is a double under-folder, which has a folding stock and a under-folding spiker bayonet.

Unfolded.       
Here is an example from The Valley Walker Collection.      
The rifle above has a slant muzzle break.
This rifle has only a thread protector.
The "FTC Woodland Hills, CA" is electric penciled in, after import, and after the guns were blued.
FTC later became, R.A.I. Woodland Hills. Some of the earliest Polytech guns were double stamped, R.A.I. Woodland Hulls, CA. on the barrel, and stamped Poly Technologies Made in China, on the receivers. The ftc/rai guns were the earliest versions of the later Polys.

| Double folded. |
With this set, I have added a Chinese AK-74 style muzzle break. It helps stabilize the gun for me while shooting.
On the left is a Chinese 5x Cell 30 Magazine pouch.
In the middle is a Type 81 Mag pouch with 4x 30 magazines, and two rare 15 round Chinese AK mags in the side pockets.
That is a New in Wrapper Chinese 100 round drum on the right.
