This is a real nice example of a pre-ban AKM Stamped AK47)in 5.56x45 (.223). This one has the Triangle 66 mark on the trunnion and all the features that were banned not long after this one was imported. It has the bayo lug, threaded barrel and pistol grip.
The Chinese AKMs are high quality and this is a fine example of why. Solid wood, excellent metalwork and a thick receiver all make this Norinco 84S a great AK47 for any collector
The double hook trigger and solid wood pistol grip
The receiver markings confirm this is a Norinco model 84S in 5.56mm x45 caliber. This Pre-Ban Norinco Model 84S was imported by CSI in Los Angeles, CA
The light colored solid wood handguards with the metal sleeve where the lower handguard meets the receiver. Also note the circular front sight shroud which encloses the front sight post. Typical of Chinese AKs there is a hole through the top so that a tool can be inserted to adjust the front sight.
The safety on and off aligns perfectly with the receiver and receiver cover. Also note the long Selector stop typical of most Chinese import AKs
A classic AK47 profile. The light colored solid wood really makes the Chinese AK47s unique looking
Another Pre-Ban Norinco Model 84S is a Chinese made semi-auto AK47 clone chambered for the .223 Remington. It has a threaded barrel with removable flash hider, the bayo lug and pistol grip. The stocks are a black synthetic material
