Originally manufactured by Norinco and imported by Sile of New York City as a semi-automatic Kalashnikov pattern rifle, this lot was subsequently converted to fully automatic by Billistics Incorporated of Wallingford, Connecticut, with the "third pin" hole added to the receiver and proper cuts in the guide rail for the auto sear. Features hooded post front and tangent rear sights, with an angled flash hider and bayonet lug on the barrel, Norinco markings on the left side of the receiver, Importer and converter markings on the bottom of the receiver ahead of the magazine well, and fitted with a set of oiled hardwood furniture. Matching numbers are present on the trunnion, dust cover, bolt carrier, and bolt head, with mixed numbers on the gas cylinder and spring guide. Includes bayonet and scabbard.

Very fine as upgraded to fully automatic, retaining 90% of the original blue finish with scattered light handling marks, mild oxidization, and a few areas of thinning on the left side of the receiver cover. The furniture is very fine, with a few dings and dents on the handguard. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
