Norinco Type 56 Folding Stock

[RenierSA]

Hi all, I have a Norico Type 56 with folding stock. Is it possible to get wood rear and front stocks for it? (it has the bakelite stocks at the moment). I would like to alternate between folding and wood stock.

Have a look at the Dave Sheer web site. There you get an idea of what is readily available in SA.

Side folder or under folder?

Valid point! The 56-2 is the side folder, which I'm assuming the OP is referring to.

If it's not a standard 56, you can't change the stock, only the handguard.

The side-folder has very limited options. One possibility is to cut the stock off the hinge kuckle and weld an adaptor on to take a better stock. Another is to add a recoil pad and cheek piece to make it more comfortable.

The under-folder was made for those guys who shoot from the overhead position while running in the oposite direction...

Errm... yes you can. Paging Quicksilver...

ok, rephrase, you can't easily nor cheaply change it.

A-R the 56-1 is not that bad at all to shoot properly. A bit if cement in your coffee boet!

Thanks, I'll get hold of them. I actually bought it from their PTA branch.
