Gently used Chinese AK

[RSK]

Well this is impressive. Nice custom finish and furniture.

Im sure if it wasn't prohib here it would sell for a pretty penny on the EE

It's probably still better than most U.S. market AKs.

Not sure what your at here... Us aks are completely fine...

I'm going to assume he means all the rifles assembled from parts foreign and domestic...like buying a CETME, some work, some don't. A friend of mine went the low cost route on both an AK and a CETME. The company that he got the AK from made it work for him after a return to the factory...the CETME just looks cool at this point.

The only way I'd believe this thing would shoot is if I saw it.

"Been hunted with" would be the EE description.

if it's Chinese, I wouldn't trust it any more than as a hammer. They don't build good firearms. (at least for export)
edit: just saw the pic. the only reason it still works is because it's still the original Russian design.

Says someone who has probably never touched a t56AK

Best post so far.

We all know it would say "test fired only"

I am not fan of Chinese rifles but they are definitely some of the nicest AKs I have seen down here.

The EE ad would read:

-LNIB, a few minor scratches
-Custom furniture
-Less than 100 rds fired
-Includes a tactical sling
-$10000 FIRM no low ballers

 

[870P]

There was a Soviet Afghan vet on another forum who said that they found an AKM underwater in the bottom of a crater in an old firebase they were reoccupying.

It was totally rusted with the furniture rotted away but they managed to get it working again after cleaning and oiling.

I wouldn't doubt if the gun in the OP spent years in water or mud as well.

Naw, no scratches. A few "safe kisses", accurized by original owner

At'l buff right out... good as new

I wonder if this was a battlefield pickup from some long forgotten bush war--if so, which one?

Old milled Type 56, they stopped making those in 1965 IIRC. It could have started its career in Vietnam even.

 

[rottenfuher]

I would add it to my collection of AK's.

 

[Claven2]

Author is full of BS. It's not chinese. That started as a milled-receiver Russian Type 1 AK-47. No stamped sheet metal chicom will withstand that much pitting.

Just to be able to see

There was a thread about M16A1 in about the same condition used by mountainyards in Cambodia or Laos, I can't find it.
