Description:
CHINESE 1960 Dated 7.62x54mmR Mosin-Nagant Model 1944 Type 53 C&R CARBINE  

PEOPLE’S LIBERATION ARMY Carbine

Here we present a C&R Chinese Model 44, Type 53 Mosin-Nagant Carbine, made in 1960. This is a variant of the more well known Soviet Model 1891, known in the West as the Mosin–Nagant and in Russia as Mosin’s rifle, was a five-shot, bolt action, internal magazine fed military rifle developed from 1882 to 1891 and used by the armed forces of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and various other nations. It is one of the most mass-produced military bolt-action rifles in history with over 37 million units having been made since its inception in 1891, and, in spite of its age, it has been used in various conflicts around the world up to the present day.

This example is a license-built version of the post-war Soviet M1944 carbine. Type 53s are found both with and without the permanently attached folding bayonet, though the former, as is this one, is far more common. The Chinese Type 53 carbine saw extensive service with the People's Liberation Army from 1953 until the late 1950s/early 1960s when the PLA went over to the Chinese Type 56 carbine and the Chinese Type 56 assault rifle. Many Type 53 carbines were given to the People's Militia in China and to North Vietnam, with many carbines ending up in the hands of the National Liberation Front in South Vietnam, and to the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia during the 1960s and 1970s. The People's Militia used the Type 53 until 1982 when they were replaced with modern weapons. There is some evidence that the Type 53 carbine saw extensive use in the hands of the People's Militia during the years of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. A significant number of Type 53 carbines were given to Albania and a few African countries as military aid by the Chinese during the 1960s. Some of these carbines appeared in the hands of the Kosovo Liberation Army during the late 1990s.
