Title: GB listings for December, 2017 - Chinese Military
Post by: running-man on March 07, 2018, 02:31:47 PM
This will be the final Military Chinese GB listing thread.  Too big of a time sink.

Here's the Military Chinese for the month:
Please let me know any feedback (good or bad) to these.

If you have an objection or observation to add to anything I've listed, by all means call it out.  Let's look at it long and hard (I only look at each listing for a minute or two at most) and maybe everyone can learn a thing or two!  thumb1

A picture of the /316\ arsenal that I hadn't seen for myself, as yet. Is /316\ the only arsenal with the triangle's edges rounded?

It's a shame that GunBroker doesn't have an "as-issued" category for their listings. It would make it a lot easier to weed through all that trash. I can understand the "time sink" sentiment!

Yes, /316\ is the only arsenal that has the rounded corners on the triangle.  You can usually spot them a mile away on GB photos.  thumb1
