Norinco Type 86S
The Norinco Type 86S (Chinese: 86S自动步枪; pinyin: 86S zìdòng bùqiāng; lit. '86S Automatic Rifle') is an AKM-type bullpup rifle that was produced by Norinco. Many major parts are interchangeable with other standard Kalashnikov rifles.
The Type 86S was designed for export into the United States, where civilian ownership of short-barreled rifles is not permitted by law.
Rifles with bullpup configurations were tested by Norinco in early 1980s, which resulted in the WTC-1 and WTC-2 bullpup prototypes in 1983. Two prototypes shared similar elements with the Type 86S.
The Type 86S design departs from the AK-47 in several ways. The trigger-sear-hammer group is housed in a rear extension of the receiver, well behind the pistol grip. The operating mechanism is exactly the same as in the standard AK-47/AKM, with the exception of a connecting rod between the trigger and sear. The weapon itself is built based on the Type 56.
The selector switch/safety is quite different from the sheet metal lever found on the standard AK-47/AKM. The Type 86S selector/safety is thumb-shaped and located on the right side of the receiver, directly above the pistol grip. The selector consists of safe and semi-auto.
The carrying handle has integral sights built in, which was based on the FAMAS rifle. A bayonet can also be attached underneath the barrel.
A vertical, spring-loaded, plastic folding foregrip is mounted on the front of the receiver. When not in use, it folds forward beneath the barrel. The magazine well is located to the rear of the pistol grip and will accept 10-, 20-, and 30-round magazines as well as drum magazines. The rear sight is an aperture/peep sight mounted on a cam.
Turning the adjustment knob sets the rear sight for 100-, 200-, or 300-meter ranges. Both the front and rear sight are mounted on the combination gas tube and hand guard which clamps tightly onto the receiver.
