Interesting ammo. The Chinese used a large variety of weapons in Korea. Many which were captured or left over from WWII, including US weapons sent to China then.
Times sure have changed, The Chinese are well armed with their own weapons now and are a leading suplier/manufacturer of weapons for export, Ray

The Japanese built a huge complex just over the border from North Korea in the part of China called Manchuria. The Japanese built numerous dams in North Korea to provide electricty to Manchuria. That complex made 6.5mm rifles and 8mm Mauser rifle copies. The entire facility is still there and is still cranking out weapons.
