Finally found a Sino-banian that's higher than 7 million /26\

[running-man]

I was going through the December GB listings for Military Chinese and found this gun.  We had seen a single instance of a non-C&R 12 mil /26\ gun that may have slipped through, but for the most part the last Sino-banian gun I've seen was a 7 million /26\.  Well here's a relatively early C&R eligible 8 million /26\ with a late style TGI (~4Q 2014 or later) import stamp in remarkably good shape considering where it came from.

And one more thing to note.  At $255, somebody STOLE this one (even if it is a mixmaster).  I wish I had the funds to just cruise GB all day buying orphans like this one!

Hey LC, maybe there's hope for uncovering a 6 mil /26\ in this batch of imports after all?

Nice gun for the price too...

No telling the extent of whats floating around over there.  I'm waiting for the t63 kits.

Yeah thats a nice one. Pretty much the same price as a J&G gunsmith special without it being a gunsmith special

looks like someone got a good buy.

Here's the "sneaky" 12 mil, by the way:




I would agree that the buyer got a pretty sweet deal on that 8 mil.

Nice OR...    Replacement blade cut stock and a spike groove ferrule?

Yeah baby!, that's the one!  Beauty of a gun relic! 
It was a TGI import as well right?

TGI import, blade cut replacement stock with spike ferrule in original condition (but the bayonet still folds pretty well).
