Looking to sale or (mainly) trade this Chinese Type 53. I have one too many mosins nowadays. This just sits in the safe. wanting to spread the fire breathing love to someone else! I've actually never fired this rifle, but there's nothing to make me think it won't be a great shooter. I was pretty surprised with how great of condition the bore is in. Darker bore with prominent rifling. No clear pitting that I could tell. I do believe this is a Vietnam bring-back. No discernible import marks. Non-matching bolt. Missing cleaning rod. Bayonet works great. Looking to mainly trade, but will always listen to cash offers.
Open to alot trade wise with cash to top going either way. Mostly other milsurp rifles especially K31/K11, Large ring 8mm Mausers , French Berthier and Lebel, Early war Arisakas, Enfield No4. Mk1. Canik and CZ handguns, Ruger and S&W wheel guns. Only thing I'm not too interested in is another AR platform or a Glock.
Cash $450 OBO
