FRI APR 29, CHINESE COMMUNIST 1955 TYPE 53 MOSIN NAGANT M1944 CARBINE, VIET CONG USED AND BROUGHT BACK WAR TROPHY!

In dragged through the jungle condition we have an un-documented example of a 1955 Chinese Factory 26 made Typ3 53 Mosin Nagant Carbine.  This is the Chinese PLA variant of the Soviet M1944 Carbine.  The bore on this rifle is excellent and the bolt matches, but the rest of the rifle looks like it went through a “jungle overhaul”, with its crudely fashioned stock that certianly was done by the Viet Cong.  This was a vet ringback but the trophy papers were lost long ago.
