Norinco AKM/47S

[bacarnal]

Just picked up a Norinco AKM/47S still in great shape with only a ding in the stock. Overall bluing is also great and the bolt and carrier are also blued (bolt closer to plum). ALL serials match as well as the bayonet.

Markings are on the left hand side over the trigger and as follows:
AKM/47S
SEMI AUTO
7.62 X 39MM
NORINCO
SILE, N.Y., N.Y.
MADE IN CHINA

Don't know much about it other than what some forums say and I'm more used to Garands and M1 Carbines. Paid $700.00 for it. Wondering what I've got. Thanks for any help. Cheers, Bruce.
