RS Type 56-2.. Why so cheap?

[ScaredShooter]

---------------

I was doing a little poking around online, and noticed that Real Sword's Type 56-2 was a mere $300. This seems a little cheap for a Real Sword.

But what do I know.
Is this attributed to the lack of real wood, in contrast to its standard Type 56 bretheren (which is about $75 more)? Low popularity? Some sort of fluke or problem? Although I expected it to be nearly identical to the real wood version.
I guess the wood difference in itself would make sense for a discrepancy of 70ish bucks.

Anything else to be known of this gun? I've been aware of them for quite some time, but have never seen one in the community.

Thanks in advance!

It does seem like it could make a special, somewhat rare alternative to the wooden Chinese AKs we typically see at the field. I suspect that the externals feel pretty cool too.

I think it's due to lack of popularity. Plus, Chinese AK's are pretty ugly. The Type 56-2 is pretty comfortable to hold though.

This Custom Real Sword Type 56-2 is pretty sweet lookin', though.

With Real Sword, it's mainly the lack of wood. It's way cheaper to mold polymer than laminate wood.

Those are really nice Real swords. Super solid.
