Anyone who researchs these guns will quickly realize that these are made in norinco ak factories. There are three type 56 models and they have the parts to convert those maks out there. You can't use every part but most. Check them out

I have owned a RealSword Type 56 and yes they are made to 1:1 specs. However, I am not 100% sure they use real weapon parts and am not sure I'd risk using airsoft parts on a real firearm. YMMV.
ETA: I am fairly certain the "they are made in real AK factories" is a myth created by those people exaggerating how realistic they are. As an airsofter I know some people can really get excited over how realistic some replicas are. I have seen no documentation of this myth being anywhere near true. Once again YMMV.
From what I've seen the most of the furniture short of the pistol grip could be used. The front site base rear sight base and possibly the the gas block and gas tube. The spiker sets alone sell for what they are asking for the guns and that's not a cridical part. I'm curious about the 56s2 side folding model the real furniture sets sell up to 400 -500 per set. Front sight bases sell for around 150 alone. My point is that even if some of the non critical parts worked it would be a quick way and cheaper way to locate hard to find parts that seem to fetch rediculous prices. Of course anyone reading this should do your research before doing this.
