Picked up a paratrooper a while back that had a few issues , duck bill mags , oxidation on the bolt carrier as well as receiver and a few dings and bruises on the stock  :(

I got a tip the other day on one that was supposed to be in great shape so I went to investigate and sure enough it really looked good  :o

No s/n on the stock and appears to be a N behind the receiver . Factory /26\
Typical Norinco KSI

The blueing is in great shape and all #s do match .. also clean on the inside  :)

Had to give him my rifle and $100 but definitely a good trade up !!

That's a nice looker for certain.   thumb1

Based on your description, I don't think $100 + the old one was a bad trade in the least!
