What is norinco type 86s?

The Norinco Type 86S is a semi-automatic rifle produced by the Chinese company Norinco. It is based on the AK-47 design, but with some modifications to meet Chinese military requirements.

The Type 86S features a stamped receiver and a 16-inch barrel chambered in 7.62x39mm. It has a fixed stock and a pistol grip, and it uses a double-column, curved box magazine with a capacity of 30 rounds.

One notable feature of the Type 86S is its unique top cover, which is hinged at the front and opens up for easy access to the internals of the rifle. It also has a dedicated carrying handle, which can be used to attach a sling or other accessories.

The Type 86S was produced primarily for the Chinese military and police forces, but it has also been exported to other countries for both military and civilian use. It has become somewhat of a collector's item in the United States, where it is relatively rare due to import restrictions.
