THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Howdy all, I recently picked up another Chinese preban AK I'm interested to learn more about its history and value. This rifle is a double underfolder with the following markings:
Importer FTC, MADE IN CHINA

I believe it is an early gun (prenorinco and prepolytech). I.would appreciate any info. Thank you in advance guys

That is an early one I have one as well but its the fixed stock and it is an under 300 serial number. These were imported by RAI but they had some that were stamped FTC Woodland Hills. These are very rare and I have never seen an under folder version so that makes yours even rarer. I paid $1,300 for mine about 8 months ago but I think I got a good deal. The under folder should bring more. Post some pics if you can I really would like to see it.
