    Sorry for the early off today because We pick up a very rare Chinese made rifle

    The Kuai Li Rifle! Made in 1890 by Chinese Qing Dynasty this is the 1st modern rifle they designed and manufactured following the design of Steyr 1888Mannlicher, straight pull rifle, CAL in 7.62x55R. Total made about 10600pcs for short time and then Chinese decided buy 1888 comminision rifle and copy it.

    The writing on your gun says “South Making Office” Then “Kuai Li 1895”

    So basically it's an obsolete caliber. Is there commercially made ammo available? Or does it use current 303 British?

    They actually fire 7.62x55r, a proprietary Chinese domestic cartridge. Similar to .303, but not.

    Glad the rifle went to a good home, I enjoyed having it but it's better off in a Chinese firearms collection.
