Chinese AK parts

[Deserthunter]

Will AK-47 extractors from other commie-blocks work without issues in Chinese AKs? Is there a rule of thumb of sorts on what AK-47 parts from other nations can be used as replacement parts in Chinese Norinco and Polytech AKs. With Chinese parts drying up, I'm confused on what can be used for substitute parts.

Look up the dimensions of Bulgarian or Finnish made AK's I believe both country's started with the Chinese variants as a basis for their developments.

If you don't find what you need here, try the AK Forum - lots of AK specific knowledge available, and helpful advice, too. I use it as a reference since I only have one (a Chinese Poly Tech spiker from the early 80's)...
