I just picked up this rifle and need some info if you have it.
On the left side of the receiver it says:~AK47S and then the serial number, under that it says 7.62 x 39 mm and "made in china". On the bottom of the receiver(forward of mag well) it saye"inported by ~ARMCO, Boylston, MA" .
All numbers are matching,pistol grip stock, bayonet lug,and a threaded on AK74 break(I don't think the break is original). Receiver is stamped.
~Thanks for your help in advance

Sounds like you have a nice preban Chinese 47 there! Price on these  varies from area to area, but somewhere in the $750-950 range depending on condition of the blueing. ARMCO was one of the lesser known importers.  It was made in factory 66 (should be a triangle with a 66 in it on the trunion), and exported by a company called Norinco.

I've broken thr rifle down completely-no "Norinco" or triangle with 66 on it anywhere.

It is a 66(Norinco), trust me. There are 2 small arms facilities in China producing AKs. Factory 386(PolyTechnologies), and Factory 66(Norinco). 95% of the Poly's came in thru Kengs, in GA. Polys also had the bayo attached, to the FSB.

It is a fine weapon.
