Looks like a Chinese AK-47 to me. Anyone else recognize it?
Looks like a Chinese AK-47 to me. Anyone else recognize it?
First time posting in this thread. Long story short, I acquired a gun safe from my father in law. Opened it up today and found this. I don't pretend to know much about firearms but so im asking here. Give me your thoughts. It clearly needs a good cleaning (been sitting for over 10 years). Don't know much about it. Norinco 7.62mmx39. What should I know about this? Is it worth a shit? It needs clips and ammo. ThanksView attachment 1644412 View attachment 1644413 View attachment 1644414 View attachment 1644415

That's a pre 1989 Chi-com. Great guns and they go for a shit ton of money. George Bush Sr banned their importation.

go on Gunbroker and look at an 56s, Norinco makes fantastic AKs
you have a stamped receiver version,
Milled go for a bit more
if you clean it up and depending on barrel condition and alignment, thats a $1500-2500 AK
Research quick, theres not a whole hell of alot left on the shelves. Even parts for guys who like to build their own are scarce.Nice AR. With all the riot crap going on around the country, I've been thinking of buying one. My first. I have to do some research and then decide. I really don't want to buy a large gun safe, but maybe it's a small price to pay for heightened peace of mind.
DUDE, DONT SELL THAT BEFORE YOU GET IT APPRAISED. IN FACT DO NOT SELL IT.First time posting in this thread. Long story short, I acquired a gun safe from my father in law.

I like that!

That's like saying you are going to eat a single Pringle. You never own just one AR. You collect them like baseball cards. You buy them in multiple calibers. My first was an S&W MP-15 back in 2011. Now I have 17 variations of ARs. Just pick up an M&P or a Saint, then begin your addiction.

@RES0574, yeah, I know it usually is addictive once you buy your first AR. LOL. Actually, I only want it for home defense, which is why I am thinking about buying just one. I'd be fine with that. Just need to find THE one. I have go to my shooting range next week so I'll check a few out while I'm there. I do have a gift certificate from my daughter that I have to spend.
