Norinco BWK-92 and 84S-1

   Here are two Chinese AK47s. They are very much the same. Both are made in China by Norinco. Both are built to shoot 5.56x45mm (.223). The 84 S-1 is Pre-Ban (the underfolder) the BWK-82 (thumbhole) was imported during the ban. They share many of the same parts and are both very well made

Looking at the two side by side it's easy to see how similar they are to each other

Two very well made AK47 varieties But the folding stock, pistol grip and bayonet make the 84S-1 the hands down favorite (until the BWK-92 is converted using US parts)

Sights look about the same. The receiver markings and import stamp locations are the easiest way to tell these two AK47s apart. THe 84S-1 is made in China by Norinco and imported by CSI of L.A. (Los Angeles) CA. The trunnion s stamped with a 66 inside of a triangle

The handguards and barrels are about the same on these two, but of course the 84S-1 has a bayonet lug

While the sheath can be carried while attached to the rifle, it's not recommended to shoot with it on the bayonet. The blade alone is fine, but the escaping gasses really dirty and sometimes break the sheaths

520-722-6886 Russian made AK47 Varieties Russian made AK47 Varieties Valmet from Finland. Forged/milled receivers and barrels between 16" and 20" in lengths with varying barrel weights. The main difference between Valmet's and other AK variants is the movement of the sights and stock configuration. The sight placement on AK's are with the rear sights on the distal end of the receiver and the front sight is on the barrel. The Valmet's places the rear sight on the proximal sight of the receiver cover and the front sight on the distal end of the gas tube. This gives a longer sight radius and aids in accuracy. The workmanship is good to very good. This rifle is chambered in 7.62x51mm, 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm. Valmet from Finland.

Some versions fire the 7.62x51 NATO (.308 NATO) round. Longer barrel than MAK-90. The wood and workmanship of these rifles are almost the same as the Romanian but the most important variance is the metal thickness of the stamping. Other countries use the 1mm thickness the Yugoslavs used a 1.5mm thickness. This added thickness allows for more rigidity in the receiver while still allowing some flexing. Chamberings available for this rifle are in 7.62x51mm, 8mm mauser, 7.62x54mmR, 7.62x39mm, 5.56x45mm and 5.45x39mm. Yugoslavian AKM and RPK. Some versions fire the 7.62x51 NATO (.308 NATO) round.
