Firearms researcher and author, Steve Kehaya, went to Albania working for Century Arms Importers in 2010-2011 to begin the selection of early bladed carbines for the first US shipments. He's a member at gunboards.com forum, where he has described in great detail and with photos his experiences finding and selecting the Chinese Type56's from the Albanian military stockpiles.
