1957 6digit /26\ rifles
The serial numbers on these rifles have been recorded ranging from 213928 to 325,497
Estimated 212k rifles
1957 6digit and the 2 million series rifles are all pretty much identical in components. This variation is the first to receive the /26\ stamp in April of 1957 when Jianshe became state owned and actually named (Jianshe). Again we see heat or lot numbers on the bottom of the barrels. Most have many stamps on the bolt like in similar fashion to the previous variation (ghost). Some have many stamps on the receivers, but perhaps not as many as the Soviet-Sino rifles. The stocks appear to be a wood different than what is typically seen on Russians or later Chinese. Bottom swivels are seen on all original stocks with small font numbering.
