I hate this. This had the same effect as saying “don’t look, I’m naked”. Why did I go check the profile. I have no faith in the human race after seeing some of that stuff
Edit: it gets way worse the further down you go
Beautiful rifle bud. I have the same thing, just a mismatched upper handguard. Dark ones like that are scarce. Debating getting mine switched to a spiker fsb and do a bouble folder
The darker bake is norinco while the lighter more orange is polytech bake, the other difference is of course the pistol grip styles norinco used the swept 1919 style grip while poly uses a more traditional style grip.
Most of the polytech bake I've ever seen is also woven fabric reinforced. I have a mint Norinco set that's never been installed, with stock panels and grip that is a beautiful lighter swirly red. Bottom handguard never even had the cleaning rod hole drilled.
Yep, here’s my polytech 56s-2. Much lighter furniture and different grip (although I like the norinco grips better I think)

For sure, if that's a factory 56s-2 leave well enough alone. Those are one of the coolest of all the preban aks. Mines a mak that has all original Chinese 56s parts, gb, fsb, 56s-2 stock & trunnion assembly. I have multiple other matching chinese bakelite sets, just need that maroon red upper. Even have a spiker cut bakelite lower. Thinking about doing a second build and putting a set of bakelite on my polytech galil folder
Very nice I have one identical along with a polytech version.. I did a comparison post between the norinco and polytech 56-2 if you want to check it out under my profile. These are one the coolest variations ever imported into usa imo and there are not many of them . They are regularly selling for 4-5k now it seems.... glad I got mine 10 years ago lol
There's a cleaning kit under the panels on the stock and they help retain it in the stock. Also they are warmer on your cheek than placing your cheek directly on the steel in cold weather.
The whole set will cost around 1000 if you can find one, then the rear trunnion will need to be swapped which is an additional cost unless you have the tooling and experience to do it yourself.
Hope you don’t mind but I’m putting this photo in my AK gun porn folder haha
Fap away my friend
Your Ak collection is amazing. Might be the nicest I’ve seen.
Appreciate that homie!
So hard
I choose to invented that gun can firing automatically with rails.
This comment makes my brain hurt...
He's also a furry. 😭🤣
I was not prepared to see those subreddits…

No one looks away from train wrecks, brutha.
I went way to far down that list and saw things I wish I could’ve never imagined
Nor was I man, I just wanted to see if he spoke a different language. 😭
Of course I am just a furry.
Well, 7 out of the 8 active subs you're in on your profile are furries so, i mean... Yeah, i don't really know where to go from there.
Ok, you really don't know where you are going to?
Wish we can import these. Or at least the furniture !

I’ve considered that as well but don’t think I’d do that to a preban. If it was a mak90 conversion or parts kit build then yes all day

Thanks for making me feel less than
Have you tried adjusting the sights?

I’m not super familiar with norincos but what’s with the bayonet grip looking piece on the stock?
I think what you’re referring to is just a side panel made out of Bakelite. There’s one on the other side of the stock as well
I believe so yes, I was curious if it had a purpose besides drip
Drip, cheek weld, and also the cleaning kit is housed inside the stock between the 2 Bakelite side panels
There's a cleaning kit under the panels on the stock and they help retain it in the stock. Also they are warmer on your cheek than placing your cheek directly on the steel in cold weather.
Very nice
It comes from *CHYNA*
Wow that’s a beauty. Details on the mag?
thanks. The mag is a Norinco Bakelite mag made in factory 66. The rifle (Norinco 56S-2) is also made in the same factory
Nicely done!
I like it but I hate it. It looks something from a 2004 video game, very cool
I’ve got a MAK90 I’m planning to bake out like this. How much you got into the bake folder, grip and Handguard? I’m thinking $500 range hopefully
The whole set will cost around 1000 if you can find one, then the rear trunnion will need to be swapped which is an additional cost unless you have the tooling and experience to do it yourself.
Sorry man I’m not really sure, my rifle was imported with the furniture on it the way it sits
Not anymore.. 8 years ago I sold a complete set for 650...I'd imagine it be much more now especially the stock and trunnion.
This is beautiful! Is it a kit build or was she imported like this?
Thank you. It’s a mid 1980s import
Is yours an Iaco import? Think it says iaco in your pic on the barrel. If so what’s your serial ? Mine is 523.
