With this particular carbine purchase I didn't hesitate to throw down the cash for as its a low production, collectible Item and was pretty good looking ;) And now I am the proud owner of a piece of a little collectible history. I picked up this carbine locally and a little over a month ago so it's about time to show some pics! With due respect for the new kid on the block, I chose to wait awhile and respect the Slovenian Honor Guard Army with time to march through. Now Ill let some pics finish the story..My firsy time taking pics of a chrome gun and these pics do no justice for the gun compared to a live view 8) Enjoy.

Laff... some peoples children on other forums say these are fake, copy, Mitchell Mauser type things and are misinterpreting/twisting the wording on the certificate itself. :-X
That is cooler than a Popsicle! And a little beauty too, congratulations on a danged good snag.
Just a nice gun all around KK, good snag there! thumb1

Never dreamed that such a straight up Chinese Honor Guard could become such a topic of contention. Of course it is altered/gussied-up/certified on paper. That's what sets it apart!
One of the better examples out there, DC, or KK, or Mitchell, or whoever the heck you are... :)
Nice!
Bucket list material for me too, but I am going to hold off until I have a nice mantle to hang it over. Maybe some track lighting in an otherwise darkened room. :)
I have wondered, do these show any sign of cosmoline preservation or did they come dry and pretty? They are all /26\ pre 64's aren't they?

Very Nice. Something I am a little confused on the serial # is 806
4996, everything else appears to be marked J4996? What is with that? And what are the chances they find a J letter series with the same last for to the 8 mil serial # on the receiver?
I am confused wacko1
Wow... I didn't even notice that. First for me.
Its a letter gun chuckles1
These rifles are a good investment. They hold there value well.
OK1....................Joe
What a nice rifle! Very cool acquisition there Direct Connection (KoolKerry)! What's up with the Serial Numbers? My 8 Mil Chinese isn't marked like that, but it's not chromed out, either. Very interesting rifle there. Congrats, for sure.
