From my understanding they actually produced their own ak's and sks's. They come stamped with a circled star.

Yep, they're different looking beasts.
They started out making Type 56 clones, both milled and stamped, but this kit has a unique Korean flavor......

If global ever gets my receiver done, I will show you what that kit looks like when its finished! There were very few kits like the one above that came in. Mine, the one above and maybe a few others were brand new when they were captured. These still had the original cosmo in them when we found them in the pile.

I'm sorry man, I didn't mean to do you dirty on that one.
It's not my kit, it's a picture that I saved as soon as I recognized what it was. Look at the back portion of the receiver.......it's stamped, but has milled characteristics. |

I think the boat is gone on these, especially with the barrel ban.
I got mine though..  I saw a total of two or three that were actually for sale..Sure others were handpicked out by locals at Hesse/Vulcan (importers) .I bought one (from Brick IIRC), the other was auctioned off on Gunbroker.... They were both brand new with dings on the stocks. There were a few milled kits out there as well, but they looked pretty bad. Once you get the kit, you have to find the accessories... They are rarer then the kits.. Managed to find the mag pouch, and sling.. Not cheap though. |

I thought I that kit looked familier, that is the one that sold on gunbroker late last year, I think it sold for more than 600.00 ( although I could be wrong) I bid on an east german the same guy was selling but had to stop bidding once the bid was over 400.00 ( I know it sounds like alot for a german, but this one was matching # ) I also look forward to seeing a completed N. Korean. good luck ............................Dave

I think it was less then that.... Last I looked at it, it was $260.. I think I bought mine for $400, but could be mistaken.. For the other kits, the key was to get in early and ask for them.. Brad (guy selling them) was able to handpick me several matching matching E.German kits to choose from, one of two AMP69 kits, etc... The guys that really lucked out were the locals that were able to handpick out all the good stuff.. Some of them got stuff like mint condition 1955 dated Russian AK-47 T3s, Iraqi kits, etc. |

I was the buyer of the North Korean type 68 kit that was on Gunbroker last year. The numbers stamped into the lower hand guard are 4242 so it might be the one in Templar's picture. The price was right around $600. If ya got any questions feel free to ask.
