Norinco Type 88SB .223 AKS

 The Type 88SB is a Chinese copy of a true Khyber Pass AKS. These guns were made in .223 of course. They did make them with a foreward bayonet lug, beneath the front sight base. They can accept a bayonet with or without the AK-74 muzzle break installed.

I would like to see a picture of that. please send in one if you own an 88SB.

A few were made in 7.62x 39, but not many.

Here is a full stock 88SB on the right.  I was told by the owner that it is calipered in 7.62x39.

This is a Type 88SB with triangle folding stock. See the clip? it is a .556 cal.

     This is a new manufacture NORINCO AK-103.  With the assault ban in place, we can not get them into the U.S. anymore, so the few that were brought in before 1989 are very very rare.

Chinese 84S .223 Spiker AK-74, Norinco / Polytech Spike Bayonet Model

     The Polytech .223 Chinese 84S Spiker. These guns look just the same as a Type 56S spiker, although they can be identified by their straighter and less banana curved magazines.  The .223 does closely resemble the 7.62x39 rifles, but the mags look different at a glance.

The 84S is not a very popular gun. I believe that most shooters and military personnel prefer a .30 caliber bullet, like an AK,  much more heavy hitting than a faster smaller tiny .223 bullet. 

So, these 84S are priced more fairly these days than their 7.62x39 cousins. 

Here is an 84S spiker NIB. they came with 3 mags,a cleaning kit, sling and an oil bottle. They sit bolt facing down in their boxes. The Polytech versions are made a Factory /416\, while the Norinco's seem to have been manufactured at Factory /66\.

There seem to be two types of 30 round magazines for these. The style above seems to be a European mag style and may not be Chinese. The mags below are the typical Chinese .223 style.
