NASI, Midland TX, Norinco AK-47, Super Rare import.

 I do not know how many NASI were imported, but it was few. These are about the least common importer to locate. I have only seen some 56S-1 and 56S Models.

Please see mine here.  She is a pristine NIB example. I was super lucky to come upon this one at a local gun store.   Blond wood is unbelievable.  I just love it.

She mine in the photos below... Mine was import stamped on JUN 03 1986.

Here I am in 1986, 1987, and 1988, when I was learning to appreciate the AK!!!!!!!

This is me with my Armi Yager AP-22 in 1988.

I was 8 at the time.

I began to appreciate the awesomeness of the AK, and I have strived to learn about then ever since.

Check out these picks, and get a copy of my story.

I was prepared for RED DAWN even before I saw the movie.

Well, this post is amazing.
There are 5 Types of the 20 Round Star Magazines.
Look closely. 
All are rare and collectible.

This incredibly rare opportunity to see all 5 of the Star Mags is because of a very nice collector. These Star mags are from the Bradley Cheeks Dale Collection.   If you know him,  please thank him for his contribution.
