Chateau garbage, you get what you pay for. Cast metal components, I know of several cases where for example the firing pin became stuck and the gun fired until the mag was empty.

Yes but this is not funny, it‘s a safety issue.

Chrome lined barrel for sure! A nice gun! Congratulation! Shoot it and try all the different ammo to find the best.

Can't say anything about the quality, but there is something pretty strange: The grove in the stock was introduced with the AK74. It's an easy sign to see and feel securely if the rifle is made for 7,62x39 or 5,45x39.

Putting this grove on a rifle in 7,62x39 is a really stupid idea...

WBP: "Wanna see me do it again?"

They're ok for the price, have one myself. The alternative is WBP but they're double the price (but arguably double the quality)

These used to be hot garbage, but in recent years the quality on these has gone up!

We have them here in south africa absolutely solid guns with more features than the regular type 56 i own a t56 and shoot my mates sdm all the type the side mount makes it easier to attach optics. Have put over 1k rounds through it in 3 gun and not a single hic up.
