HISTORY: China obtained blueprints & tooling from Russia in the 1950's as part of post WW2 aid packages they sent out to other allied countries to help modernize their arms industry. This included the Mosin, SKS, AK, & many other Soviet designs. Many Warsaw & aligned nations would start producing copies of the Russian arms or their own modified version into the 1950's & 60's.
CONDITION: The straight wrist Chu wood stock is good with small nicks, dings, dents, scratches, & wear from use/age. Common handling spots have worn away the finish. There are many small worn cartouches on both cheeks of the stock, around both sides of the recoil lug, bottom of the wrist, top of the comb, & one faint stamp on the forend.

The blued metal finish rates 96% on the receiver with light scratches & a couple speckles of rust.

Left side of receiver is marked with ''C.A.I.'' importer marks. Top of rear tang & buttplate tang have the same poorly struck ''20'' mark.
