The Type 56C is the final iteration of Chinese Kalashnikov, originally intended for export but primarily used by Chinese police and special forces.

The receiver takes a number of cues from the Type 81 rifle, and is shorter and has different geometry than the standard AKM stamped receiver. The gas block includes an adjustable gas plug, and the sights are also reminiscent of the Type 81.
