mweitz Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I have a PolyTech AKS 762 that was converted to full auto. It looks like the conversion was done correctly. I read somewhere that the 'rate reducer' on AKMs was more of a safety feature, delaying the hammer by milliseconds to ensure the bolt was fully into battery. Since mine is a Type 56 copy (I think), mine doesn't have a rate reducer. It just relies on that auto sear that's on the bolt rail. Is the 'rate reducer' really a safety device? Is my gun less safe because I don't have it? Thanks, Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caje1962 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 My understanding is that the Chinese never used them in their AK production. I don't lose any sleep not having one installed in my converted Norinco AKS-74U. And although my Vietnam "bringback" has a forged receiver, it doesn't have one, either. Check out Frank Iannamico's book, "The Grim Reaper". I have both editions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
