When they first hit the market in 1989, China Sports was selling Type 84 guns at an MSRP so low–$350– that the market price was around $275. The Type 84S was to ship to FFLs in one of four variants: a standard fixed wood stock model, the 84S-1 with an underfolding stock, the 84S-3 with a composite fixed stock, and the 84S-5 with a side-folding metal stock, with the last three only imported in 1989. This included the 5.45x39mm Type 88 and the Type 84S AKS in. Seen as something of the Rodney Dangerfield of the AK offerings at the time, these guns could be had for under $400.Ĭhina Sports, Inc.– located in Ontario, California of all places– introduced a couple of new Norincos to the market in late 1988, notably chambered in calibers other than the traditional AK 7.62x39mm.

The problem was, the Valmets and Maddis were expensive at the time, running $700 and up in 1985 dollars. appetite for Kalashnikovs initially whet by the early shipments first of Finnish Valmets and then of Steyr-imported Egyptian Maddi ARM rifles, by the time Red Dawn hit theatres in 1984, the hunger had grown to omnivorous proportions. 223-caliber AK-style semi-auto rifle that was only imported for a single, controversial year. Gather round and hear a tale of an extremely rare. This beautiful Norinco Type 84S-1 AKS available in the Vault is a Chicom-made underfolder that was only imported in 1989.
