Told ya those Chinese double hookers were sweet.. And your a dog ..and as you say..a lucky SOB that don't happen often
I aint gonna lie...I was very lucky to come across this neat variant of Chinese AK in the wild. After some research I'm confident in calling this an uncommon model of 84s and of chinese akm's in general.I've found a lil info about it and as always if you have anything to add or correct...feel free to chime in. So far the documented pics I've found have all been within the 4000 s/n range except for 1 that was 5038. Its a /66\ and the quality.... Fit and finish is fantastic. Everything just feels tight and solid. All matching s/n and all original, as imported. The furniture is Black Bakelite and the buttstock is a full 1 1/2" longer than a standard akm. The threaded barrel sports a birdcage flash hider. The grip is different as well, its a 1919 style grip and to be honest it fits great in the hand. ( I do believe these differences were aimed at an AR loving USA market )Stamped receiver and barrel thickness of a standard 7.62. ( makes for a bit of a heavy barrel I'll add a pic of the threaded muzzle later.) It has a spring loaded FP. The front sight sports a full globe rather than the 1/2 cut. It has a stock double hook trigger that is just sweet. ( till now I thought my amd-65 with a Tapco G2 was the sweetest AK trigger I'd felt but now..... Well enough of my jibber-jabber I'm sure there's more but we can add that later. I joked with GM about this being NSFW ( insert crude tube sock joke here) If yall wanna see any internals or other pics just holler. Enjoy! cuz I sure am.With a slightly modified Polish Beryl magWith a slightly modded ((10)) 20 rd 5.56 magVented gas tube and bayo lug. front sling attachment Isint built into the gas blockGonna add some comparison pics with my most classic looking AKM my WASR 10, in a reply ( better stop now before smoke starts rolling out the back of my comp )
I hate .223 with a passion and I especially hate .223 ak's. But I will say it's a nice specimen. Is it a polytech? That's polytech furniture it has on it. Be careful with that butt stock they are fragile as hell. I bought one to put on my Mac 90 and accidentally dropped it from 1 foot onto laminate hard wood flooring and it busted into a million pieces. They are hollow inside!

I bought one to put on my Mac 90 and accidentally dropped it from 1 foot onto laminate hard wood flooring and it busted into a million pieces. They are hollow inside!Its not a polytech, its a Norinco 84s-3a. The furniture isn't Polytech either, It's as-imported original Black Bakelite. the butt stock is a solid,1 piece formed block of bakelite with a hole drilled in for the cleaning kit. Heavy as all get out and honestly will probably outlive most wood stocks. I'm not a big fan of the black plastic look or feel but honestly once you have this type in your hands....You can really feel the difference.I know the NOS poly black furniture your probably speaking about and it is a plastic stock but not the same as this 1. 1 or the other were more than likely patterned after each other though, as they are both the longer type IIRC.I will admit an AK in .223/5.56 was not on my radar but now that I've shot 1....I am very impressed When I get a chance I'm gonna do a range report between a few 7.62x39 AKMs and this 1. 7.62x39 has always been my favorite and my go to and I hope they do well but I wont be surprised if this puppy edges 'em out. Doesn't mean I'm gonna switch over to .223 but I'll give it a lil more of a look see than before.
