It looks like a type 81 look-alike.

Those pellet rifles have been around sibce the mid 1980's. Navy Arms sold them. Still produced today. They are pretty nice and fairly accurate. .177 calibre at about 600 FPS. I have a couple and they are nice.

Old Navy Arms ad.

Yea it does look like the 81 from the rear sight to the folding butt-stock even the rivet for the stock are the same.

At first glance I thought it looked like the type 56 2 below.

I got mine in today. The rifle is just about as heavy as a regular AK with an empty mag in it.

Here is what the rifle will look like with some detailing

Nice, I've been looking at air rifles for something quieter than 22LR.

For $ 59.00 to $79.00 I would be tempted ?

They are fun and accurate for the money.
