Type 56S Practical

Rex Kramer · 04-07-2008, 08:37 PM

The practical transformation of my Norinco Type 56S begins

UltiMAK optic mount and J-Tac47 compensator installed

SAW grip and CTR installed

Stay tuned...

The original furniture is not for sale

Sweetness. I was going to help a friend get that gas rail, but he can't afford it...it woulda been nice though. Yours looks great! Now you need that bottem rail and a red dot!

I like the old school look myself. Start getting all the after market black synthetic/plastic parts, may as well just get an AR. I'd have to agree with squirrel blaster in that it's just me also. lol

What did or are you going to do with the what looked to be beautiful wood furniture it had on it? Just curious is all...

All of the original furniture will go back into the original box

where did you get that muzzle break? How well does it work?

SwedeSteve · 04-08-2008, 01:52 AM

Nice rifle! Great pics. Keep the coming.

Rex Kramer · 04-08-2008, 06:56 AM

I have not fired the rifle yet, the conversion is not complete.
I purchased the J-TAC47 Compensator from Blackjack Buffers
They are currently out of stock - I got the last one.

I will post additional pictures and a range report when I've finished putting it together.

Rex Kramer · 04-12-2008, 11:53 AM

I switched to the Vltor Model #RE-47 and an LMT SOPMOD

SwedeSteve · 04-12-2008, 01:22 PM

Well, the pinky (and the other fingers) are understandable... You were bump-firing. It's neat how one can bump-fire from the shoulder (instead of the hip like most guys that just like to shoot fast) and still get some accuracy out of a rate of fire normally relegated to only full-auto firearms.

SwedeSteve · 04-13-2008, 11:33 AM

Good technique jpwilly.

meatloaf · 04-13-2008, 04:46 PM

nice im going to try that.

SwedeSteve · 04-13-2008, 11:06 PM

He Rex! I measured a pistol today, and it seems it takes the same size furniture as a rifle. That means Ultimak will fit! Hot Dang Bubba!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine a pistol with Ultimak Handguard and Gas Tube in aluminum. A swivel on the rear of the receiver, with a single point sling attached. And a laser mounted for quick acquisition. Throw in my Chinese 75 rd drum, and... Oh Man!!!!!!!!

Rex Kramer · 04-19-2008, 03:21 PM

The build up is almost complete ...

SwedeSteve · 04-19-2008, 03:36 PM

Nice! Similar to my rifle.

Rex Kramer · 04-20-2008, 07:10 PM

Another look . . .
