Norinco AK, Type 86S
« on: March 16, 2011, 06:32:03 AM »
Does anyone know much about these?  I ran across one the other day, and decided I had to have it.  Seems to be very well made, bullpup configuration.  It seems that only about 1,200 or so of these made it into the US back in '88.  Guess that makes it kind of a rare bird, but also hard to find much info on their overall quality and reliability.

Century makes a copy of one. http://www.gunsinternational.com/CENTURY-ARMS-AK-BULLPUP.cfm?gun_id=100164873

Reliability, quality and functionality all are superb. Anything that can be said about the norinco mak 90 can be said about this. Just a different stock. http://world.guns.ru/assault/ch/type-6s-e.html
BTW pooshka has the value at $1685 for the average price.

Bugflipper,
Thanks for the info and the links.  I am also very interested in the average price that you stated.  I tried to go to the pooshka site, but was unable to connect to it.  Maybe a problem on their end, as I'm able to connect to all other sites that I've tried today.  Anyway, is that the average price for a used gun or average price for a new gun?  Just curious because this one that I bought is brand new, in the serial #'d box, ser#'d bayonet, two 30 round mags, sling, oil bottle, all still wrapped in plastic.  Thanks for your help and I'll keep trying pooshka myself.
