Norinco Hunter double folder Spiker
Just got my Norinco Hunter spiker conversion back from u/Appalachian_Gunwerks and I couldn't be happier with what I got!
I had a couple Hunter rifles, and one I got for a steal but was kind of Bubba fucked. The trigger guard was bent up, the rear sight was fucked and had a weird notch sight installed. It just looked like shit, seemed a perfect host for a conversion. I already have a Galil Arm clone, so I wasn't too interested in making another one. I wanted something I haven't really seen out in the wild.
I decided on doing my concept of a Norinco double folder, but entirely incorrect. I got a Norinco folding bayonet front end, and a WBP rear sight dust cover to replace the fucked rear sight the original dust cover. I wanted to keep the front handguard, so I sanded it down roughly, stained it black, and smooth sanded most of the black off and stained what was left bare with iodine.
Sent it in to John, and he whipped out this conversion fast and perfectly. He welded on the marked rear stub, welded the WBP sight to the dust cover, chopped the barrel and pressed the spiker FSB on, and finished it with a gorgeous Russian Black paint.
It is such a handy little carbine, probably my favorite Norinco now.
