Interesting, I didn't know that they made a PAP. What year was it manufactured? I suppose the real question is, how well does the bolt lock and slide? The furniture is of less concern.
I've never handled a PAP, they're not common where I live. I have seen the difference between the Russian and the Chinese AKs, though, and so I do understand what you mean.
I'm not in the States so I don't have it handy (gave it to my father)...I think it was a late 1970s model? Bolt was pretty smooth, only had a few misfires over the years, and I was running Wolf ammo and barely cleaning the weapon.
