Cal. 7.62x39mm. S# CW90991. Bbl. 16”. The ultimate in 1980s gun culture were the Chinese mfg. AK47 variants that were once so plentiful & inexpensive. The highest quality & most sought after variants were mfg. by Polytech & imported in numerous configurations. As their popularity increased in the United States w/ shooters & collectors & the availability of the once rare 7.62x39mm ammunition became available, we were faced w/ the first of numerous pieces of legislation dealing w/ the propaganda push of the day & firearms w/ similar attributes were branded “assault weapons” & eventually heavily restricted. One of the first new restrictions regarding the semi automatic versions to go into effect was mandated by executive order w/out legislative involvement & banned the importation of guns that didn’t qualify as having a sporting purpose. This particular example is a textbook piece w/ its blond hardwood furniture. Stamped receiver. Hooded front sight post & rear sight adj. in elevation to 800m. Safety selector on right side of receiver. Complete w/ its folding spike bayonet, threaded bbl. & flush muzzle brake. Left side of receiver stamped; "AKS-762 / 7.62X39MM / SEMI-AUTO / POLY TECHNOLOGIES KFS / ATLANTA, GA / MADE IN CHINA." Currently sporting tan canvas sling. Shoulder stock trap door contains original capsule cleaning kit. MAGS: 1 - 30 rd. factory. CONDITION: all outward appearances indicate that this particular example may not have been used very much, if at all. Finish coverage is complete & consistent w/ only thinning on barrel where aluminum sling rivet touches it. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. Bore is shiny w/ strong rifling. . (22-3936/JZ). MODERN. $1,500-2,200.
