A nicely kitted-out Type56 with all the Magpul accessories is the bizniz!

Re: Norinco Type 56. Guidance please.
I would get the AK and in 7.62x39. I would stay away from an AK in 556 or 223 (get LM or Galil), since the ammo for 762 is almost half the price (the last time I checked).

Re: Norinco Type 56. Guidance please.
I am partial towards the Kalashnikov action, so I would take the Type 56. This is an expensive hobby, so purchasing the more affordable rifle before getting in too deep would be my recommendation. You're also getting a known quality - some factories' castings aren't the prettiest, but as far as I know these are the same factories using the same parts they do in their military contracts.
I'll make a separate entry, but we are looking to make a batch of our dust cover rails to fit smooth dust cover AKs. The sight leaf would be replaced with an insert that holds the anchor bar - the "gutter" on the rail itself would serve as a backup fixed sight.
I've posted a picture below - take note the rifle used is a Romanian AK. I was checking if substituting an LM dust cover would work; it does, but we would need to add a riser to the rear sight, and that's a whole other story.
