ok guys... 600 Honor Guards imported to the US, and here is mine. As you can see, its an "8m" 1963 Jianshe /26\ complete with honorguard leather sling. The deep-dish rear gastube ferrule and buttplate are a unique feature not found on any other chinese or common variant of sks rifle.

That just looks too nice. You've got to bang and scratch that thing up a little.

j.k. Very nice!! I've got a Chicom too, but not nearly as pretty! Is the wood really soft?

Nice.. they all pretty. :) What year is yours?

The wood on earlier chinese rifles were of a fairly dense wood in which a few of us are attempting to gain more knowledge as far as species by having specimens examined. The later stocks such as this one (replaced during HG overhaul) is said to be Chu wood... same as most of the recent CA imports. I can tell you, the Russian Birch stocks are just as soft if not more so. Birch is like one step above balsa. :eek:
 
Very nice looking show piece, but I don't know that I would want to fire it.


and not to burst anyones bubble but those rifles are built for the consumer market. The Chinese Military does not stamp English writing on their rifles.
 
:runaway: Our rifles are import marked.

These are converted in the exact same location utilizing the exact same parts. Some crates go to the honorguard, a couple went to the US.

Too late.... I already shot the living sheet out of it. :p
 
Of course they still have a facility to maintain their honorguards and turn pre 1964 Jianshe /26\ blade guns into honorguard rifles. :rolleyes:

This rifle was imported in 1993 and was originally built at Jianshe 26 in 1963, then later chromed along with tens of thousands others like it being used for parade and honorguard duty.

Research is free

Unless those rifles were to be imported to the U.S. later on. Rifles can be made for the military, then converted for sale to civilians with the addition of a stamp later.

The english stamp is probably added 15 minutes before being shipped in the us. They take the real thing and add that stamp to make it comply us laws.
 
I believe by law, the importers stamp is to be applied within 72 hrs of receiving. I know its a couple of days... dont quote me on the 72 as it could be 48 etc
 
Nice rifle, I also hope they open up the floodgates of chinese sks as I didn't get one last time, they were crazy cheap, $130-$140-$150 ,I have seen all those prices, bring it on, this time I will get a crate!
 
we all know there a sh!t load over there but for some reason the importers are not even bringing in the standard Chinese SKS lately.

seems like all of them are bringing in the Russian.

Because the Chinese exporters are asking way too much for them now. They jacked the price up and the importers told them no way and to pound sand for those prices.
 
How much is "way too much"?

Do the importers "have" to triple their money? Is an sks not worth $250 to Canadian collectors and consumers when it would cost well over $1k to make today?

Like we saw in the states, eventually prices WILL go up. Whether people will accept that and pay a little bit more for a quality semi-auto battle rifle or not is the question.

Bingo

Its going to happen. May as well pay the importers a weee bit more so they will bring them in at all. I have the feeling, if the importers knew you guys were willing to pony up a bit more (due to chinas new price)... they would be available. Perhaps some good ones too.
