Original Norinco, Polytech, and Chinese PLA Made Firearm Advertisements

     Here is a needed post on the various Chinese AK-47 and options from back in the day.

   These ads are original, and from various sources. Take a look and let me know if you have more. I will accept them and add them to this roster.

These rifles, regardless of importer, are more similar to each-other, if not exactly the same.

Here is an ad from Norinco,  just like above,

But also with CLAYCO's name.

They both brought in the same guns.

Extremely rare and uncommon true AK-74.

Few were brought in before 1989.
Few.

Chinese 56S Full Stock Polytech / Norinco AK-47 Pre Ban

   Here is the Type 56S semiautomatic AK-47. This is your standard full stock stamped Chinese AK-47 that takes a Type II bayonet.

They were mostly imported by Norinco,  and Polytech did not import this configuration. Almost always made at Factory /66\.

   

     These are high quality guns but largely used as shooters, as there are more valuable collectors guns in more desirable configurations out there.


     These are good pre ban guns, and are made to the same standards as all of the others, although undef-folders, and spikers surely are more covetable on the market.




Here are my 56 Fixed stock rifles in a video if you are interested.

Here is my Sile N.Y. 56S, from factory /66\

Alongside an 84S for comparison. 

This gun is in The Valley Walker Collection.

     They all came from the factory with 3x 30 round magazines, sling, Type II bayonet, oilier and gas tube reamer. Also, they have tube style cleaning kits inserted into the hole in their stocks.

Regardless of importer, all of the standard Type 56S Chinese AK are good solid copies of the fully automatic and internationally exported Type 56.  Good reliable guns.
