I bought a Polytech and a Norinco around the same time, as did many back then. The Reason? A sick bastard named Patrick Purdy. After the shooting, pretty much half the nation called for an immediate ban. A few years later, Clinton made that a reality.
Forgot, I bought a factory fresh chinese SKS for$70, and a case of chinese steel core ammo for $30 first. |

Awesome score OP, and great post! A blast from the past that sure brings back fond memories.
 A whole lotta fun has been had with guns exactly like those.Quote HistoryQuoted:

I was stationed out of Langley back then and I ran out and bought my first Norinco underfolder. Some buddies also bought AKs.
We used to buy cases of steel core at the gun shows in Hampton, VA Beach, and Richmond and go out and blast them off on the weekends. I shot the bejeebus oughta that gun.

Nice score indeed.
Unfortunately I live in New Yorkistan and will never know the pleasures of owning such things again.

Thanks guys for all the positive comments. Great grouping for sure. I will not be shooting these. They will be stored in the dark recesses of my safe. Just happy I was able to keep them all together.

Quote HistoryQuoted: mIt reminds me of my teenage years in the 1980's, seeing these on the shelves of the local gun stores in Southern California. B&B in North Hollywood comes to mind! What did the extra "Accuracy pack" consist of?  |

The full plastic fixed stock version is the rarest of the three. I like the side folder the best.
I have a Norinco 1911A1 pistol, too. For some reasons, my pistol doesn't have the lanyard loop. Why??? |

Did you get some yellow or green boxes of steel core ammo with the lot?
Nice score OP!

Quote HistoryQuoted: What did the extra "Accuracy pack" consist of? It's not "Accuracy pack". On the invoice, it writes "Accy PACK" for $54.95. I'm pretty sure it's "Accessory Pack". That's your drum magazines and etc. |

This is quite the trip down memory lane! The first rifle I ever purchased was a PolyTech AKS. I bought it as an 18 year old kid. IIRC it cost me less than 400 dollars. Today it looks far worse than that. The bayonet broke when I tried to use it for a screwdriver, and there's a large chip out of the wood buttstock. Last time I shot it was probably around 2005.
Take care of it and enjoy it. Thank you again for posting the photographs. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Were those prices high for the late 80's? I expected them to be a little less.... I bought a PolyTech AKS in 1989 and an underfolder Norinco AKM-47S in 1991. My memories of the prices were something like ~350 and ~400. I was a barely legal college student at the time, and I bought them new from a local gun store, so I was paying markup, but even so I think original buyer got very good deals on his. |
