I have two Norincos and looking to do a custom build on one of the them (not the under folder), but I would like some info from those who are more knowledgeable, before I start modifying. Since I have not found a way to attach the photos I just took of the rifles and markings, I’m stuck just describing them. The one I’ll probably be modifying (upgrading) Normal stock Orange/yellow wood Serial 132740 Markings. 386 oval ring, Norinco, Hunter IDE McLean Va Upper rear slanted at 45 degrees Large front sight No flash suppressor or brake The under folder Orange/yellow wood Under folding stock Screw on Flash suppressor with holes on the side Cleaning rod 386 oval Serial 50880 Marking on bottom of receiver in front of magazine (Norinco made in china) Machine work done on lug directly below the very end of the cleaning rod On the AK listed at top, I’m looking to upgrade the wood with modern aluminum hand guard with rail system and modern stock. Also, how are the barrels on these AKs ? Should I upgrade or just keep it? Thanks for any advice Mike |

Should I upgrade or just keep it? Junking the gun is not considered an "upgrade," and rightly or wrongly, the Chinese AKs command a premium because they are no longer imported. I would recommend that you sell the one you don't want to someone who will appreciate it, and turbo-F a $750 WASR instead. It's a better rifle too. |
