For sale is a Chinese Type 53 Mosin Nagant Carbine bolt-action rifle in 7.62x54R. Serial number- 3318806. This rifle is in good condition and comes with an attached bayonet & cleaning rod. This rifle was manufactured in 1955, and only the serial numbers on the receiver and magazine appear to be matching, the bolt and butt plate numbers do not match. There is a Ridgefield import mark visible on the receiver. The Model 53 rifle(carbine) is a Chinese copy of the Russian Mosin Nagant that was first produced in 1953. A number of these guns made their way into the hands of the rebels during the early 1950's when they were French-occupied. They were also used by the Viet -Cong against the Americans once they took over control of the country from France. Fairly scarce carbine over here and very historic.
