    Perhaps then I'll check out a Chinese one if they become available, its a good reason to blast off some surplus ammo.

    Most of this kind stuffs, if not all, were melted into steel blocks during Culture Revolution in 1960's after they were entirely replaced by SKS (type 56).

    So the fact that marstar just stated they are looking to bring some in, and that you can buy them readily enough in the US are all just smoke and mirrors? I guess not all of them were smelted down.

    I heard that the ones sold in the US were captured during Korea war, not exported by Chinese. Was this true?

    Seeing as companies are selling them in large groups like the SKS sells up here, I'd say no, not all viet captures. The US can still import Chinese guns, they just can't import them directly from china. China did supply firearms to other counties similar to what Russia did. Egyptian contracts and other African and Middle East deals come to mind.

    Also, many have importation markings when found in the US, which is not consistent with capture imports that are not import marked.
