I’ve debated with myself for years whether I should get an AK. I’m not particularly attracted by the platform as I am more of an AR-15 enthusiast. But I guess every half decent gun collection should have a least one. So I finally took the plunge on a cheap but well made Chinese Norinco 56-1S for $ 650.-. I already had a very good experience with my NDM-86 (Dragunov). Came with three mags, sling, mag pouch oiler and cleaning kit.

















Took it straight to the 50 m indoor range. It’s more accurate than I thought









I had some ammo from an old lot purchase, Russian and Czech






With the big brother





Quite happy with this purchase

Nice!

The Chinese make a great AK. Their mags are great too. Get one of the big drums if you can.
How much does an NDM-86 cost over there?

He's in Switzerland.
They don't have the import bans we have.

Not threaded muzzle ? The ones that used to be imported here were.

Nice!  Interesting, it has a milled style front sight base (fangs) so it would use the milled style bayonet.

Great deal!  Chinese guns are really pretty good.

I saw this exact model from factory 66 at the gunshop yesterday.  They wanted $2650 for it and it had a few more miles on it that this one...
