Chinese RPK Type 87S, 7.62x39, both Polytech and Norinco RPK

    The Chinese RPK was brought in to America in the late 1980's.They had a 20 inch barrel, and came with 2 x 30 round magazines, and 1 x 75 round drum, cleaning kit, sling, and oil bottle. They sat with their bolts facing down in their boxes. These guns are very very rare and sought after by their respective collectors. You will not find one for less that $2,000.00 used,  or as much as $3,000.00 new. They come up for sale very rarely. Typically brought in by Polytech,  but some are also Norinco. 

Here is a pristine and finest example I have ever seen from 

The Valley Walker Collection.

     The butt stock is similar to the Russian Club Foot butt stock. It has a nice look.

The front sight is located behind the bi-pod, with some type of fixed muzzle nut in front of the bi pod, and then a Type 87S RPK muzzle break, which is threaded on. These guns have the bayonet lug, although no bayonet could be affixed, with the exceptionally long length of the barrel.

This one was made at factory /416\ just like the most loved Polytech guns.

They all came in with a club foot stock, pistol grip, and blond furniture.

Thanks for looking. I want to point out that these RPK's were made and shipped to America in 7.62x39 (AK) ammo, as well as in .223 (5.56 Nato). 

Here is a nice 87S with original muzzle break, and sporting a 40 round magazine.

I will not make a post of the .223 RPK here, as these guns are seldom seen and come up for sale rarely.  Here is a picture of one, so you can identify it by looking at the magazine. That is the straighter .223 magazine above. Can you tell?

Chinese 56S-1 Underfolder, AKM / AK-47S, 7.62x39, Norinco and Polytech

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. 

  

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.

   
     The 56S-1 closeup is of my Blue Bolt. You can see how clean they were sipped from the factory.
These guns are spectacular, and immaculate.

Here is my SILY NY Norinco 56S-1 that I used for the cover of this blog.
