If you are refering to the 56 S Norinco AK they are 12.5/Prohibited..if it's a CA,prohibited as well..

Type 56, as in Chinese AK-47s? I've heard of numbers up to 56-4, but not 5. Hmmm.

Another fellow showed me this rifle.He was trying to get info on it.All I seen marked on it was Type 56-5 over cal 7.62x39mm on the left side of reciever below the sight.A triangle stamp at the front of the bolt shroud.Lever on right side has 2 positions marked L and D.It is in new condition.Folding Bi pod on barrel and 2 mags (curved,maybe 30 rds) He would like an estimate on value.Dont know if I can get pics.

As a prohib, lucky to get $300 for a NIB example.

Prohib - back of his Licence should read "12(5) OIC #13"

I've seen two different references to Type 56-5. One referred to a semi-auto RPK (which is what you describe) and the other referred to a refined/match Type 56 for US import (haven't seen one of these).

IIRC when they were "for sale" they retailed for $475ish with two 40rd mags and one 75rd drum. Given the prohib SAP status the current worth is debatable as it is in theory a paper weight but should be between $300 and $500 dependent on condition and accessories.

I think The RPK came with the 40's and drum - the regular 56 came with 2 30's....I think I still have a receipt somewhere....sigh...

Then I got cheated !!!! Bcs when I bought mine in the styrofoam box there was the 75rd drum and 2 x30 rd mags in their respective slots.

 

[Deckard]

No, it was drum and 40s, but when the RPKs were resold, the 40s and the drum were replaced with one or two 30s, or some with sick short 5s.

I can see that i missed out horribly. Damn you Coalition for gun control you sons a #####es. *Shakes his fist wildly*

 

[Deckard]

Buy what you can now or lose out even more.

Very true. It will likely just continue to get worse.

 

[Deckard]

My advice is this:
You are buying your gun rights now for a chance to keep them later.

See, I told you so.

But my Type 56 came with 3x 30s.

Depends on the 56 type. Dash what? -1, -2, what?

56-1.

But when I bought my 56-2 it only came with 1x 30/5 and 1x 5. "Evidently" the seller made more off of his mags than he did off of the rifle ... the mags are worth more to people than the guns.
