Preservation forum, please no altered military surplus rifles or discussions on altering in this forum. Please read the rules at the top of each forum.
No, just a parts swap that can be put back, question is why would you need that?
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

While it is a native Chinese part, be prepared for issues with feeding. It could take adjustment to make it feed correctly. It's a fairly common issues with them, and some depending on rifle, could take some slight fitting.
I said I was an addict. I didn't say I had a problem.
I have had 2 and they seem to work fine for me. I had one on my regular Norinco, now one on my paratrooper. I like it because;
1. Not permanent
2. Doubles the capacity. Uses an entire 20rd box of 7.62x39. At our last group shoot I ran outta ammo in my mag way too fast.
The first 20rd box mag I got would not feed. The last 2 worked fine. The prices have shot up pretty good in the last year or so however.
I have one on my Norinco, and it works fine, no issues ever. Got it at a gun show for $5.
