Here’s a little more info- these were chambered in 8MM Mauser, since that’s the caliber that the Chinese were using at the time. The arsenal stamp looks like the Jinsen Arsenal, which is very interesting. Less than 40,000 total were made, though exact numbers are unclear because there is almost no documentation. I would love more information on these rifles, so if anyone has any please let me know. I’m hoping to convince myself to shoot it some day, but it’s hard to get motivated when it’s irreplaceable, especially for the deal I got it for!

Beautiful

I’m glad someone else thinks so! My husband says it and my Type 14 are the ugliest guns he’s ever seen 😂


Purple_Calico

That's a red flag lol.

I know, right? He thinks K98s look better than No1 mk3 too. He just doesn’t have good taste lol. I collect mostly Japanese and British while he likes American and German. But, I guess that helps our collection be more filled out!

Id almost feel bad to touch it....like unironicly feel like id need gloves because its so rare

I get that! It definitely took the throne among my safe queens. I just can’t believe it was “junk” to someone,as it’s in really nice shape considering what it is. I got it and two Type 99s with mums and an extra complete stock set for under 500 total. The 99s are in super nice shape as well, just missing a couple minor parts.

Cool! Looks clean too. The short stock on the one I shot totally punched me in the nose! Saw stars big time. My 6'1" frame doesn't mesh with her🤣🤣

Holy crap I bet!! This little thing firing such a big caliber is kinda ridiculous😬 My husbands 6’6 so he would probably feel your pain! I’m only 5’3, and I have a hard time with long guns but can shoot carbines like a champ 😂 makes my husband jealous that I can shoot my Argentine carbines and his 45-70 better than him. Hope your nose made a full recovery!!

Yeah they kick a bit lol. But the action is strong.
