We have the serial number that seems quite a bit shorter in length than most. Are the bakelite furniture models worth more? My brother has a Norinco triangle 66 56S that he is desperately trying to find out the year it was manufactured. The only ones I've ever seen is mine and the one on this page. Serial number is very close within This is a very unusual 56s. I have a marked norinco exact same in the picture. Someone told me that this unusual lenght was Made to complain canadian market. Hi I looking for a bayonet for a chinese AK47 modelDo you happen to have one or know where i can source one please? I want purchase Type 56s Please let me where sales connect. If you look inside the gun, you will see matching dimples in the rails. If the dimples are very light, they could be polished off during finishing and not be seen. Do you mean the dimples left from the spot welding used to attach the rails inside of the receiver? They are not necessary on Milled receivers, and are absent on Chinese Milled guns. A couple times on receivers similar to Mak's, but the rivet patterns vary, unlike Chinese variants.Īre the circles indicative of anything specific or could they just be custom builds? I am willing to bet they are integral in the stamping process of lining up the flat when it is wither stamped or riveted. Does anyone know if the circles above the oval well magazine catch on stamped receivers mean anything? Some I see have 1 or none, but once in awhile I'll see 3. I am posting an official Norinco ad at the bottom of the post. Or are they simply leaveing the C for china out. Witch if you take the acronym for its sequence, dosnt fit. I have heard the meaning might possibly be nort china ind. Factory was desertedand now most of the fatocy houses are in poor condition, nobody works there now, only a site for memory. Still have questions? Get your answers by asking now.I find it interesting that the factory norinco has "m" serial number prefix. Not sure why the US hasn't been pursing these violations either, despite the pleas of all companies in the US that had their patents, copyrights or trademarks stolen. Source s : china continues to disregard copyrights trademarks of the US or any other country. How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer. To cut to the chase, the government don't really want the American people to have guns period, so they try to limit their access by banning imported guns. Two high profile incidents really cast a bad light on Norinco, China, and everyone that's Chinese. Shotguns and ammunition is still imported. They used the same excuses but back then in the early to mid 's many people thought there would be no gun ownership in 10 years. The Leftist Elites know exactly who they trying to keep from having guns and ammo The thought of 75 million armed Patriots keeps them sweating, just like out Founding Fathers intended.Ĭlinton did that in as part of a renewed trade agreement. I get regular email alerts from the major milsurp importers and have seen none describing any new laws or enforcement. After Clinton sold our nuclear secrets to the Chinese he got pissed off when they leaked the info, so he stopped all importation of Chinese firearms into the USA under the guise of "gun control". But I thought semi-auto versions were still legal. I know fully automatic rifles from any foreign country are banned under the Hughes Amendment. I thought their SKS and AK rifles were pretty cool too, but I never understood why the government banned them from importation. They used to make some really nice, inexpensive Colt clones.
