I have a pre-ban Norinco AKM-47S. Willy Chirino Son Del Alma Rar File there. Any idea what I have here as regards manufacture date or the like? There's no Norinco star anywhere to be found, and these pics show every stamping on the gun. The on blurry one (I am using a borrowed camera, and could not retake right now) says as far as the serial number 'M0000664' and the reciever says: AKM/47S SEMI AUTO 7.62 x 39 thanks in advance!

Mar 05, 2010 how to tell if your chinese sks is a military type 56 or one just made for export. Skip navigation. Chinese Norinco SKS M 7.62x39mm - Duration: 2:05. Translates to Type 56 carbine, not to be confused with Type 56 rifle which was assigned to the AK47. Location of the 3 Chinese characters: - Factory 26, from 1956-1961, had no Chinese characters. Eg: 1234567 /26. - Factory 26, from 1962-1970 and 1979-1980, located between the factory code and the serial numbers. Eg: /26 *** 12,345,678.

Early 1980,s i have one identical, but it is a 56 s. Never fired also came in through sile n.y. They are some of the most sought after ak.s along with the polytech,s. You have a beauty of a weapon, and yes the queen of a collection, i feel the same of mine. Also have a few other norinco,s i take out and enjoy good luckThe Norinco 56/s is the version used in that infamous Stockton schoolyard shooting 20 years ago. Those stupid anti-gun Kommiefornia politicians had to rewrite their AWB three times just to make sure that it was banned. These rifles were imported by a Norinco affiliate company called China Sports.
