This is very good example of an early Norinco semi-automatic AKM import that was converted into a fully automatic AKM Machine gun by Jonathan Ciener. This example was originally imported (circa 1980s) by the SILE of New York City and is so marked (lightly) on the underside of the receiver. It has the standard stamped receiver with the folding stock with the standard military style tangent sights. The left side of the barrel block is correct marked with the Chinese arsenal "16" inside a triangle with the followed by the serial number. On the lower area it has been stamped "Jonathan Arthur Ciener Titusville FL" when it was converted into the fully automatic configuration. The right side of the receiver has been correctly dimpled for the two lower firing positions. The bolt and bolt carrier are correct full automatic replacements that are numbered: "04489" and "4489" respectively and the selector lever is stamped "371". It has an all blued metal finish with the original hardwood wood components and comes with the cleaning rod but no magazine.

Very fine as converted with 90% of the blue finish remaining overall showing wear on the edges and high spots with evidence of firing. The wood components are all in good condition showing various handling marks and pressure dents, with a longer crack on the lower left side of the forearm. 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 478.
