there seems to be very little information about different factories other than the all-famous Factory26. I have a "106" and have found no info as to what that factory is and when it may have started production, numbers of rifles made etc....

does this info exist?

Damn those communists hoarding all their info! :D

Jianshe 26 is the most documented as it was the original arsenal of the Chinese Republic. It's located in Chonqing, a major city.

The second production wave factories were mostly located in the hinterland, far from larger cities for strategic reasons. 106 is from this group. It's not known how many factories were built. Many also produced consumer and non military goods. It's most likely that not all factories were in production at once, but may have gone through military production cycles.

Arsenal info I've gleaned:

26 -AKA Factory 296, Chonqing
36-Factory 356, Chonqing
416-AKA Factory 9416, Chang Ping, Beijing
386-AKA Factory 386, Long Yan, Fujian

Anybody have opinions on the 5 round detachable mags for the SKS Tapco makes? Most people like the new 20 round mags etc but I haven't heard much about the 5 roungers.
