Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Exported in extremely limited quantities during the late 1980s prior to the 1989/1994 Chinese firearm importation bans, the Chinese AK-Hunter represents one of the most distinctive commercial adaptations of the Kalashnikov operating system. Built primarily by State Factory 386 under China Jing An Equipment Import & Export Corporation, the AK-Hunter was engineered to comply w/ North American sporting firearm regulations while preserving the legendary reliability of Mikhail Kalashnikov's long-stroke gas piston action. Featuring a full-length 20-inch barrel, an extended receiver bridge w/ rear-mounted aperture sights, an altered trigger group moved rearward, and a traditional sporter-style checkered hardwood stock, the Hunter provided domestic shooters w/ a precise target-shooting and medium-game hunting platform that seamlessly accepted all double-stack AK-47 magazines. Due to its brief import window, distinct design elements, and exceptionally smooth action, factory Chinese Hunters—especially those imported by early boutique distributors like Valley Gun of Los Angeles, California—have become highly coveted collectors items.
This specific example is an authentic pre-ban era Chinese Factory 386 AK-Hunter rifle, bearing serial number 24964 and imported directly by Valley Gun of Los Angeles, California (91324 zip mark). Chambered in 7.62x39mm, it features a 20-inch barrel, hooded front post sight, dust-cover peep sight assembly, and a beautifully checkered dark walnut sporter stock w/ factory rubber recoil pad. The bolt carrier displays matching internal sub-serial digits "4964", while receiver roll-marks remain deep, crisp, and fully legible. The original commercial blued finish across the steel receiver, barrel, and gas tube retains outstanding coverage w/ minimal handling wear, representing superior collector preservation. Mechanically, the action hand-cycles with extreme smoothness, the modified trigger breaks clean, and the 20-inch bore is mirror-bright w/ sharp, pristine rifling throughout. Offered complete as a highly collectible, unmolested pre-ban import, this Factory 386 Valley Gun Chinese AK-Hunter stands as an investment-grade piece for Chinese military export and AK pattern enthusiasts.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
