Received my 1956 Chinese Type 53 advertised as condition "Good". After a full inspection of the rifle, it appears to be in very good to excellent condition excluding the stock which I would rate good. Clean sharp rifling, no counterbore, excellent crown, no rust, light cosmo., excellent metal, tight bolt, all numbers matching except bolt. I test fired it yesterday and it is a sweet machine! I refinished the stock and it is beautiful carbine ! I couldn't be more pleased. I have two Mosin 91/30s on the way which were advertised in excellent condition! I can't wait... THANKS BUDS!!!

A#1! I was just a tad skeptical when I pulled the bolt and first looked down the barrel! Was it dirty! It looked like my black powder rifle during storage! Imagine my surprise when I swabbed the barrel a dozen times to reveal a sparkling clean and excellently rifled barrel! that is awesome! The stock looks like it was tossed from an Apache helocopter a few thousand times but thats what I wanted...Not a "smidgon" of rust! I love Buds! Buy this badass, pronto!

Once again, Buds pulled through. I received my MN 53 very quickly. Bolt serno was different. Everything cycles smooth, and I have a clean barrel and crown on her. Stock is beat to hell,and it almost looks like the name BOB is carved into it. She is going to need some TLC, but for less than $140 including transfer fees, she is going to make me happy. Saved my beautiful 91/30 and I get to make me a true truck rifle! Thanks again! I do wonder if there were any Chinese soldiers named Bob now...

Ordered my type 53 on Sunday and picked it up today (Wednesday). It was not as bad as some but about what I was expecting after reading the reviews. Kind of beat up but nothing to bad. Nothing cracked or broken. Missing the cleaning rod. No rust. Couldn't beat the price.

Picked up mine today, very happy with it all things considered. Bore looks like it will clean up nicely with a little work, plan on refinishing the wood, no major dings or dents that I wouldn't be able to get out. Not a whole lot of cosmoline on the outside, stock seems pretty dry, caked up a bit inside the reciever/mag. But I have to say, this rifle has THE most amazing trigger I have ever felt. All matching #'s. Very happy.
