Title: Spring cleaning paratrooper
Post by: Papahound on March 04, 2024, 12:02:03 PM: Decided to list this one under altered , my understanding is that the para was chopped down from a full length carbine 🤨

Very tastefully done and does add another variant 👍🏼

Norinco - KSI import

I’ve owned several and this was definitely a keeper 👍

I was actually amazed at how accurate this one is , the prices on the para have really shot through the roof , I don’t see them getting any cheaper , great variant to add to the pile 👍
