Historical profile
Developed by Norinco in the mid-1980s as a bullpup variant of the Type 81, keeping the original bolt and action while compacting overall dimensions.
Produced in small numbers and offered on the export market, it was never mass-adopted by the PLA but is sought after by collectors for its rarity.
Recognizable by the curved AK-style magazine protruding behind the trigger group, a typical solution of first-generation bullpup conversions.
