Looking for info on this Chinese AK. I bought it years ago from a guy that told me it was a 70's AK that had been in storage and never shot. It was in mint condition when I bought it, and I've put about 3-400 rounds through it. It's smooth gun, a great shooter, and surprisingly accurate with open sites at 100 yds. I was really puzzled by the lack of a manufacturer's name on it, until a friend suggested I look for Norinco on the barrel. With a light and a magnifying glass, I could barely make out Norinco 7.62 mm, followed by something unreadable. I think it is a Norinco Type 56 spike. Judging by the serial number, its an old one. Too early for the Traders Digest. You can see GSAD MANH. BEA CA on the receiver. The bluing is nice (looking new), and the wood matches the metal well and is attractive. I put a great flash suppressor on it, but I still have the original round end.
It's been sitting in my gun safe neglected for a long time (I'm a M1 and M1A guy by nature), and thinking about selling this fine gun. But I'd like to know what it is and how much it's worth. Any info would be really appreciated! I might just throw it back in the safe and wait for the zombie apocalypse. http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o651/asmit99/AK1_zps482c93d5.jpg http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o651/asmit99/photo_zps42dacec7.jpg http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o651/asmit99/import_zpsc01cdb6a.jpg http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o651/asmit99/serial_zps8bc55f87.jpg |
