Presenting a rare find for the discerning firearm collector or enthusiast - the Norinco Type 56S-1 Semi Auto Rifle. This exceptional piece, in excellent, unfired condition, is a semi-automatic variant of the iconic AK-47 assault rifle, renowned for its durability and reliability. Manufactured by China North Industries Corporation (Norinco) in the 1980s, it showcases the robustness and adaptability of its Soviet-designed predecessor, making it a notable artifact of modern warfare history.
The rifle's overall condition is excellent, showing very faint signs of any prior use or handling. The bore is in pristine condition, unused and showing no signs of wear. The rifling exhibits sharp lands and grooves, maintaining its excellent condition. The package comes complete with an original Type 2 bayonet, Oil canister, Field Cleaning Kit (NIB), three 30rd metal magazines, and a bonus Daniel Defense Hard Case and gun sock for safekeeping.
This Norinco Type 56S-1 is a rare double import stamped variant. The stamps from Delta Investment Group (D.I.G. Inc.), an early importer through Virginia Beach, Virginia, and BCI / USA, a Texan importer, affirm the top-quality manufacturing at Chinese military factories and the sturdy Pre Ban AK. The rarity of these stamps makes this firearm a valuable collectible.
Our team has never seen a Type 56 in such amazing condition. It is unfired, with only minor wear on the mag release and rear left side of the receiver by the stock trunnion. There is barely even a "dummy" scratch on the safety selector. This is truly a safe queen, and we recommend preserving its current condition to maintain its rising value.
The Type 56S-1 is chambered in 7.62x39mm, the same caliber as the original AK-47. The efficient gas piston action operates smoothly and consistently, enhancing the shooter's accuracy. The blued finish and stamped steel underfolding stock, coupled with the smooth Chu wood pistol grip and handguards, offer an aesthetic appeal that underscores the craftsmanship of the 1980s manufacturing. The rear adjustable leaf U notch and front adjustable half ring/post sights aid in achieving accurate shots. With a standard capacity of a 30-round magazine plus one in the chamber, this rifle allows for extended shooting sessions.
