Public Security /416\

[Phosphorus32]

Here's a nice 1973 arsenal /416\ Public Security Type 56 that arrived yesterday, about 2.5 weeks post auction. The finish on the wood and the metal is excellent as Greasemonkey notes in the "SKS Guide"

Thanks!

The trigger is nice. Smooth, not gritty. This carbine is in excellent shape but certainly not unfired so I'm looking forward to taking her out on a date to the range.

Yeah, I've never seen such dark wood, but it's nice. 

  A combination of a few rifles coming in from auctions on very different dates and in the case of the G33/40, just way behind in posting pics.

Good question    I studied the area with a lighted magnifying glass and the serial numbers are 80% dull vs. the surrounding glossy finish. I'd say the numbers were stamped after application of the shellac.

A couple of badges from a Chinese website. I won't vouch for the translation, just Google Translate, but the original characters are there and the link to the sanitized PRC Wikipedia site

Nice little cinnimon girl there P. That fence is sure getting a workout lately too.

Nice looking carbine you have there.

[Dannyboy53]

Beautiful specimen Phosphorus! Need to drill a hole in your fence so the charging handle will fit   

[Phosphorus32]

Thanks guys!   

My apologies for resurrecting a 3 month old thread but I thought the badges were interesting and this thread was a good place to post them.  They're from the first page you find when you Google the Public Security characters, 公安, from the right side of the receiver. Here's the link translated to English:

So one police force has roughly the same authority as about a dozen of our alphabet agencies 

Basically, the DEA, FBI, CIA, NSA, SSA, ICE, FEMA, DHS, ATF, DEA, USHA, FSA, FSLA, EBA, SEC, FERA, and about half a dozen others wrapped in to one cluster, plus acting as state and local LEOs..

So, why do we need alphabet soup...

Cuz, heaven forbid, our agencies work well together and share information to help prevent terrorist attacks. Oh, wait, the creation of a new department (DHS) solved all those problems
