This is a Chinese Type 56-1 underfolder built at Factory 386 and exported by Poly Technologies, then imported by KFS Atlanta. As a true pre‑ban configuration, it keeps the bayonet lug, a folding steel stock, and a threaded barrel with a 14x1 pattern. An AK-74‑style two‑chamber muzzle brake is installed on the threads.
The rifle uses a stamped sheet‑steel receiver with magazine‑well dimples and a smooth stamped top cover. Furniture includes black synthetic handguards and a black checkered synthetic pistol grip. The underfolding steel stock provides a 13.0-inch length of pull, and the barrel measures 16.3 inches.
It operates via a semi‑automatic, long‑stroke gas piston system with a rotating bolt. Sights are the classic AK pattern: a hoodless/open‑ear front post and a tangent rear leaf. The gas block is the 45‑degree style. Capacity is 30+1 with standard AK magazines.
Markings include the POLY TECHNOLOGIES rollmark, "AK-47S 7.62x39mm SEMI-AUTO" model designation, the KFS ATLANTA, GA "MADE IN CHINA" import mark, and the oval Arsenal code 386. Origin is China, with production dating to the mid-to-late 1980s.
