SILE Guns are very prevalent in the USA. They are all Norinco, and of good quality. These guns are usually made in State Factory /66\. Some of them have the less common Blue Bolt and Carrier.
These guns were imported with both Red and Black Bakelite Bayonets. They are very solid, and as authentic as you can get a stamped Type 56S on the American Semi Auto market.

ReplyDeleteSo, is it possible that Poly Technologies made a AKM-47S that was imported and stamped P.T.I. China Sile N.Y. N.Y.?
ReplyDeleteP.T.I = Poly Technologies Incorporated.
ReplyDeleteI have a Norinco AKM/47S stamped

7.62 x 39MM
NORINCO
SILE N.Y.,N.Y.
MADE IN CHINA
With a serial number of M002479 on the receiver and 2479 on the bolt assembly.
Any ideas when it might have been manufactured? Is that number a really early one?
David, I bet you forgot to mention it has a Blued bolt. That is the most unique feature about your gun. Most of them have a MS pre-fix before the serial number. And some just the M. They were made in factory /66\. Its just a sile pre-ban. from 87-89. Nice gun though,
ReplyDeleteWould love to hear what you think about mine John, thanks!
DeleteI can't believe I'm just seeing this. Yes, it does have a blued bolt. I'm considering selling it now and wondering what it's worth. I suppose like everything else, it's only worth what the market will bear.
DeleteI have what looks like a post ban Sile AK. The bayonet lug is machine off and "7" stamped before and after the 56S is the only difference that I can see between this AK and a pre-ban AK.
