PolyTech AKS-762 – 7.62×39 – RED Bakelite Sidefolder 1 of 500 RARE PreBan!
This is a no reserve penny auction for a PolyTech AKS-762 semi-automatic rifle in 7.62×39. Serial number- PS87-762-0741. Mfg. 1987. This AK-47 is in great condition and features a chrome bore, side-folding stock, and RARE all-red bakelite furniture. Includes one magazine. This style of AKS was one of the last versions imported by Poly-Tech prior to the 1994 assault rifle ban and is much rarer than the Poly-Tech Legend or Norinco versions of AK rifles. It is estimated that less than 500 total of this model were ever imported into the US prior to the ban, which disallowed several features, one of them being the folding stock. It is reported that these rifles were imported in two groups; approximately 250 in each shipment.
This rifle is marked on the left side of the receiver, "Model AKS-762/Cal. 7.62x39mm/Poly-Tech, Beijing China". The underside of the receiver is correctly marked, "Imported By K.F.S. Atlanta GA" (representing Keng's Firearms; the only Chinese Government authorized importer of this style of rifle). Made with threaded muzzle but without the bayonet lug like the milled "Legend" versions.
