I heard they can be good but some can be less so of course they tend to go for less than other AKs.I have two pre-ban (1988 ban) Norinco 56S Chinese made pretty much a semi-auto only type 56 never had any real problems with them but of course I bought them from a very reliable dealer who is friends with my father this guy does the whole lot Class 3 and all he has Lewis guns WWII SMGs but you have to deal with all that paper work and tax stamps plus those things are not cheap.I do not use the polymers myself.I am much more a fan of the Mosin-Nagant M9130 though I have a nice little collection of those and with one of those you can hit something well past both 7.62x39 and 5.56x45 ranges and actually have some effect.

Could have just been a lousy one or perhaps someone built it themselves from parts in which case it could be utter crap or quite nice.Same goes even with the US "made" they are all in fact combinations of foreign and Us made parts and assembled in the US.Sometimes the foreign parts are new other times surplus which most likely explains how most makers will have an occasional lemon.Still in most cases lemon firearms are usually ones built form parts by a private individual who has no gunsmithing skills.
