An amazing 105 Type 56s this time around. $196.00 low, $599.99 high, $353.50 avg. Auctions this month were an absolute travesty to the point where if this keeps up, I'm simply going to stop tracking Chinese auctions altogether as it's simply not worth my time to look through 50 bubba auctions trying to find an undickered /26\ gun. LC told me he was having trouble finding good candidates for entry into the arsenal component configuration threads, but man it's gotten seriously bad out there with every Tom, Dick, and Harry looking to cash in on that $300 SKS with $200 in aftermarket parts that only sells for $275.
Please feel free to post up any feedback (good or bad) to any one these entries.
If you have an objection or observation to add to anything I've listed, by all means call it out. Let's all look at it long and hard (I only look at each listing for a minute or two at most, I miss things all the time and as I continually try to remind people: we simply don't have all the answers, no matter how good we'd like to think we are) and maybe everyone can learn a thing or two including me! thumb1
