Still in business. He's advertising 1400 rd cases of Polish M43 that I wouldn't mind having some of, I just can't bring myself to roll the dice.

Yeah. The ammo and pictures look great.

Czech Surplus ammo. THE GOOD STUFF! Berdan primed, 127 grain bullet, copper washed steel jacketed projectiles, milspec berdan primed lacquered steel cases. A true bargain.

Please note shipping is $34.99.

If there was a walk in store I'd figure something out there. Else....

Oooh, lookit that. Shipping will be the big factor. Johnone did mention they were the importer.

Anything over $40 shipping gets it to ~$0.24 a round. It is available though. Hopefully some other dealer will have it closer to us.

 

[10mmauto]

Why is it advertised for $149.99 and you paid $169.99?

x2 Maybe an up-charge because he got a box?, maybe that is the tax and he just rounds it ? Either way that guy is geared towards one time customers.

 

[RojamB21]

I don't seems to have any problems other than paying more than advertized price

If you buying a gun under $150 , Wish it wouldn't shoot backward

Yeah Steve I just talked to a couple other guys who are interested in a 4 crate kind of purchase of this stuff. Would be nice to get a pallet shipped out if we can get enough guys to split it.


By the way, not to threadjack and apologies to the OP, but what happened with http://www.czfirearms.us/ ?

Are we sure these are military rifles and not something made for the civilian market? My Chi-Com has no markings aside from Ser.# and the factory 26 triangle. No Asian {writing} on it whatsoever.

 

[Woodbeef]

OK I emailed Howie. Hopefully He'll swing by and give you guys some answers.

 

[howiebearse]

many mistakes are made by those who sell the Chinese sks .They do not know much about them nor do they care its the sale. Factory triangle 26 was the main factory making the sks for many years . Most all Chinese sks carbines are Military some were assembled from the thousands of spare parts and shipped to the US toward the end of the large imports 80s and 90s these were assembled from spare parts that were Military and they could not sell them as readily as they could carbines they also made up stupid variations for the importers such as cowboy companions scoped guns and so called paratrooper short barreled ones as well as those with 30 rd ak mag conversions. You fellows in Canada are getting the real Military surplus guns and you can find as many as 150 variations on factory codes in triangles, rectangles, ovals, diamonds, and letter codes. Many early factory 26 were made with Russian supplied parts and may have Russian serial numbers and the hand stamped factory triangle 26 code after the serial number and often below wood line or faint stamping. You collectors have quite an opportunity if you want to collect by factory code as I do My supply here in the US is now on gunbroker but you are getting nice ones imported have fun collecting and these carbines are every bit as good as the Russians and in some cases better (serial numbers 23 and 24 million factory 26 guns with phenolic upper hand guard were the best made in the 80s

 

[westrifle]

As far as I know equipment from Russia was shipped earlier then 80 and 90's. Howie can you explain why 26 factory is so thought after. I mean I understand when it was made with Russian parts (something unusual) but it was made in 80 would not be exactly same as any other factory in China?

 

[emmab]

From what I understand, factory "26" is possibly the only production factory where a person can figure the date of manufacture by the serial numbers on the rifle. The other factory serial numbers don't corelate to a findable date.
