Chinese used M1917s

[diss0lutus]

I'm curious if anyone has any Chinese used M1917s here, especially the shortened ones? I've tried to do a survey of these over on gunboards and have 6 examples of the shortened rifles with another regular length M1917 but it had it's serial number scrubbed off. I'm curious if anyone here has one. I suspect there are more out there, just not very well known.

Anyways, here is my shortened one compared with a regular M1917. Has a Min Bing brand on stock showing that it was used for a time in a Chi-com militia unit. The SA over I on the stock is likely a Ishapore arsenal stamp as they are probably who converted these rifles. All the shortened ones I've seen have it.
