Here's my Norinco 84S underfolder. Of course, pre-89 and with a boatload of magazines.

Unfortunately, it's presently up in the Equipment Exchange.

Well, I don't have a camera or photos, but I have a rifle very much like SelectFire's Polytech "Double Folder," although I bet mine is a little more beat up. Welcome to Oxyman, and that is a great AK to have. I just thought I'd chime in. Sorry no photos though

I have switched my AKs to the SAW grip. It really is the best grip on an AK that I have ever used.

Very nice Legend VTDefender! It is now the only AK in my collection.

As promised earlier in this thread here are my PolyTech AKS-762.



Rare '89 model AKS-762 wood stock with long metal side fold stock and checkered grip.
It's been said that only about 200-400 of this model had been imported because it was released just before the '89 import ban.
Installed original factory parts are ventilated upper handguard and AK-74 style muzzle brake.



'89 Model AKS-762 wood stock with folding spike bayonet.



ETA: My third and last (for now) '89 PolyTech AKS-762 folder with red plastic stock


These rifles have very smooth 3.5 to 4 lb. trigger pull because they were dealer samples and was selected for their nice triggers.


YMMV

Nice Ak's Alpha, the Polytech type 56 style rifle with the bayonet was the one I have always wanted, however I was kid when they where banned nad my dad said they where useless so I never acquired one. The polytech I have was a rare find but you can't always get what you want and like yours it has a really light trigger pull, but the stock is too short. Polytechs are the best chinese Ak's in my opnion

Thanks oxyman.

My third Polytech AK which I didn't post a picture is just like yours, a sidefold with reddish plastic stock.

I bought my first AK, with the spike bayonet in late '88 and I got two more in late '89.

I take mine out every once and awhile and never had a FTF of any kind.

They are getting rare specially my sidefold with the wood stock so I take good care of them by using only good brass shell ammo and proper maintenance.

My opinion is I agree with you that this brand is probably the best Chinese AKs because they are Chinese mil-spec which means they are chrome plated, heat treated and materials are up to their high standards.

Their commercial brands don't have these mil-spec features.

The short stocks are not really a problem if you're wearing winter jackets or armor vest.
YMMV

I'm not sure if I agree or not, after all I only had to go through 3 (!) Norinco 91s to find one that held zero on the bipod at 100 yards after 3 drums of ammo bumpfired!
Could the others have had a heat treatment problem (I've often wondered)?
Never saw a Polytech that wasn't a beautiful rifle.

I could bump fire my PolyTech AKs all day long and won't loose zero, they factory test their process in full auto for the Chinese military.

Heat treat problem maybe, some brands don't even heat treat at all.

I would recommend the PolyTech to anyone, try it you'll like it.

Here's a link "THE TRUTH ABOUT AKs" article in the Poly Technologies (Keng's Firearms Specialty) website.

Cajunboy,

Is that a Norinco 56s-1? If so, what are the first 3 ser # digits. Mines starts with 1MSxxxxxx.

What does "1MS" stand for?

Also, your Sling is wider. Very nice!

+1

I know TAPCO seems to be a curse word around here, but if it wasn't for those TAPCO SAW grips, I wouldn't enjoy shooting my AKs nearly as much.
