Who Has Stock? - Type 56

These seem to be hard to come by at the moment.

Does anyone know of a shop who has stock?

Try Gaanbos in Potchefstroom, or Molopo Wapens in Vryburg. Both of them had a while ago.

I got mine from tactically armed. They had a few left a few months ago.

I will give them a try, thanks.

Give Spartan Arms a call, they import most of the Type 56 for SA.
If they out they can at least give you a list of which dealers they supplied or tell you when the next shipment is due.

Where are you based?

There is a Norinco type 56 for sale on Gunafrica, brand new for 12k. (states that price is slightly negotiable)
Located in the Meyerton area (Jhb).
Rifle is dealer syocked, licence wasn't applied for.

(Note: I have no affiliation to the seller or product, the ad was seen online and details posted)

Thanks Mark I will ask them.

Looks like a new shipment has arrived in SA
Places like Dave Sheer are starting to advertise them on Telegram

@Mark357: No shipment has arrived. Checked with them, was just 2 rifles that were returned.

It seems like AKs are selling fast and it is bad timing for me. I have almost reached my budget but now it seems prices are going up with every shipment.

The 56 at Dave Sheer are apparently selling for R15. Up from 8-10 beginning of the year.
The Saigas where R14 a while ago, up to R18 and now I hear high 20s.
