Type 56 SKS-D?

[Irons78]

Just saw this up for bidding at Landsborough. Advertised as a "Norinco Type 56 SKS-D". 14 days out and already at $425....

wow!!! im impressive with the conversion.

But... why?? He basically turned it into a half-assed T81. With that in mind, though, I'd like to try mounting that stock on a T81...

I respect the work, however ugly it may be

 

[Komodo]

yep I did a double take as well . Til I reread the description

I had one of those conversions but with the full stock not the folding one. Heavy as hell. Sold it for 1,000 I think 10 years ago. It is VERY heavy. I would stick to the type 81.

i like the cocking handle and how he welded the top cover to the back cover. the take down must be the screw in the rear.

Better to just buy a type 81-1 instead.

It looks pretty cool. A lot of work and easy to take apart. Very solid but all steel, so more of a showpiece than practical.

I have to find the pics of the one I had, I posted it on here and 90% of the response was - ugly as ####.

Funny how the taste changes.

heavy or ugly or not. its now bidded at $1000 plus tax, ship and premium. it doesnt start till mar 12.

i find bidders tend to over pay on auctions.

Agreed.

That gun has been around for at least 15 years, pretty sure before even the CZs hit the market. In that void this gun was the closest to an AK anyone could get.

If you go back far enough, you'll find my old factory.. 626? Something like that, with a similarly modded bolt carrier by Neit Arms(whoever they are)
