    Chinese conversions of Japanese rifles to 7.62x39mm carbines--pictures

    Both Arisakas have the mum ground off. Did China allow that at the surrender? Or did they buy them off the surplus market post war?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    At least one million surrendered in 1945. The Russians quickly moved troops into Manchuria and occupied the great arsenal there. They then set about building a great army for Mao. The arsenal converted many rifles into 8mm Mauser rifles and later converted many rifles in 7.62mm carbines. The carbines went to the police forces. I am told the chamber sleeves in the carbines are force fitted and not pinned. The sleeves will back out with extended use. I have one upstairs and looks just like yours. Fairly well done my carbine was buffed and re-blued in China and has no crest, either.

    What I find interesting is that the Chinese apparently ground off the mums on the receivers or the Japaneseicon did it before surrendering the rifles to China?????
