this is for the early factory 26 guns now being sold by Century and perhaps others If you want to contribute any other original issue models that you have photographed I will also add those to my other Chinese information. But primarily this is for the newest import of Chinese guns.

I think it will show a large block of early Aid guns from China We may see some close or consecutive numbers show up. It will be good if all participate. Keep in mind partial info is useless so no blocked or xxx serial numbers please.

Look at some of the distinctive Beech stocks shown. I think Bumthun just posted one. Clearly Beech.
Sure have a Romanian flavor to me. Possible very early aid guns from China to Romania? Dunno yet.

Not that it is accurate but the JG rep told me their batch spent 10 or so years in Vietnam before being imported.
