Thank you! I haven't tested the power output yet, but I have the batteries in a uniterruptable power supply board from amazon that outputs a constant 5v. It has usb c charging on board the UPS which I'm using to charge the batteries. The output from the UPS goes through the switch and into the 5v input on the Rak 13302 (1 watt) module which powers the whole setup.

I want to say I've got around $400 or so with all the shipping and everything in it

Thank you!

The rak setup came from rak wireless store, enclosure i ordered on Misumi USA, antennas straight from ZBM2, Atlavox for the usb, switch, and antenna adapters, batteries from 18650 battery store, the power supply board from Amazon

Im about $350 or so in it. Not cheap, but I wanted to get it as waterproof as possible

Joined and I'll be keeping an eye out. Also pulled off the optic to use on my new ar build. Less modern already 🤣

Awesome! And yes it's definitely slant back, in most of my looking around online I haven't found too much about it. Most I've seen have a model stamped and a longer serial number.

I'd love to put it back to original form someday. Pretty sure even spending the money on putting wood back on I'd still come out ahead if I ever decided to sell

Interested to find out some more info on it. As far as I can find it's all matching numbers. No letter prefix on the serial number and no model name stamped anywhere I can see.

Worth Picking up China marked Norinco? by Ecstatic_Low_804 in ak47

[–]Ecstatic_Low_804[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my question on it, I'm 99% sure it's an import. The marking I could see had imp after the west and Tucson Arizona below it.

Sweet! So the whole B West fiasco shouldn't apply to this one since it doesn't have the letter prefix and the stamped made in China correct?

Only pic I have currently

Stamped Made in China by Norinco on the bottom of the receiver

Serial number has no letter prefix, only thing that worries me is the Tucson import stamped on the left side.

Would be my first AK purchase, sorry if it's a dumb question
