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.

Here is a Chinese 56S-1 under folder. They were brought into America under many many Importers, and various manufacturers, including Norinco and Poly Tech. Most notable, they were made at Factory /66\. These guns are very desirable and sought after by the American public. These are the standard for the Chinese AK on the American market. The mostly came with their bolt facing down, as NIB examples. Included were 3x 30 round magazines, a bayonet, bayonet clip, sling, oil bottle, and gas port reamer/ cleaning tool.

Here is a video of my AMCO, Boyolston, MA for you to see:

Above is a GLNIC import. Quite unique and coveted.

Below is a SILE N.Y. Import.

These are all pre ban guns, and some do not have factory stamps, while most do. They have threaded barrels and accept bayonets.

Above is a nice 56S-I example.

Below is a NORINCO advertisement of their rifles from 1988.

Here is my 56S-1 BNIB, although it is a SILE N.Y. Import, it is a blue bolt from the Min Shan Factory. These 56S-1 rifles sat facing with their bolts up, to show off the more uncommon blue bolt. The Blue Bolts were made for the American Public, as the Chinese knew that the Europeans made blue bolt AKM rifles,a they wanted to compete with the European imported guns at the time. My gun is beautiful, and a perfect example of a 56S-1 Blue Bolt in 7.62x39.
