    Of course, no harm, no foul, making conversation mostly, I would have classed it in a similar fashion, until I really pulled it apart and looked at it.

    Those Chinese and their engineering trickery knows few limits, the Type 97 series rifles are nearly what could be considered striker fired, but they use this odd, sliding hammer, it probably gives horrible lock time, but I can't seem to notice it during shooting.

    No worries Darren, Be interesting to see a break down of parts etc , I just remember a lot of the bull pups from china arriving in the UKicon for deactivation, long time ago, but there were distinct Visual similarities to the AK family , I could have my wires crossed though..... the cider was good stuff, we are in the middle of a heat wave here so making the most of it....
