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. cry1
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. thumb1

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! thumb1
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).
