Manufacturer: Century International Arms RI1968-G
Item: 7-GM53
UPC: 787450077997

Century once again offers you rare examples of Sino-Soviet cooperation from a bygone era! The Type 53 is a copy of the famous Russian M44 carbine, and like its predecessor is chambered in 7.62x54R. Century Arms was able to locate a cache of these carbines where they have been conserved for decades just waiting to be re-issued. Needless to say, these won't be around forever. If you are a collector of Mosin Nagants, this is a fantastic opportunity to add a hard to find carbine to your collection.

Condition: Good used. The current batch of these have rough stocks that will probably need to be refinished. The metal is generally nice, with bluing loss and some rust, but overall, these rifles should function fine. Please give them a good once over before hitting the range.

4.0 Rating Was worried, but got a good one - 3/14/2013Century Arms Chinese Type 53 Bolt Action Carbine 7.62x54R 20.25" Barrel 5 Round Capacity Hardwood Stock Blued RI1968-G4.0000
Reviewer: Yogi
After I ordered, I told a friend and 10-20 minutes later they were sold out. I figured I got the last one and therefore the worst one. Not the case. Wasnt alot of cosmolene, as somebody had cleaned but not a great job as the barrel had some. The barrel inside was also dirty as all hell, Took 2 hours on the barrel alone but the rifeling is good. I plan on buying a modern stock and a scope (not the nagant period scope) and making a nice scoped shooter. I thaught the price was a lil bit high, But free shipping was nice.
1.0 Rating Very poor condition - 3/14/2013Century Arms Chinese Type 53 Bolt Action Carbine 7.62x54R 20.25" Barrel 5 Round Capacity Hardwood Stock Blued RI1968-G1.0000
Reviewer: steve b
Came in a box with no padding or wrap at all, just a loose rifle in a box with a hole punched in the end from it sliding in the box. Upon opening, it filled my living room with a horrid mold smell. All of the wood was dry rotted, chipped, cracked and gouged. Almost no finish left at all. The metal under the wood was corroded and bubbling all along the barrel. This rifle claims to be graded in good condition and what I received is less then poor. First and last time buyer. No returns, lesson learned.
5.0 Rating Nice Rifle - 3/8/2013Century Arms Chinese Type 53 Bolt Action Carbine 7.62x54R 20.25" Barrel 5 Round Capacity Hardwood Stock Blued RI1968-G5.0000
Reviewer: Jeremy
I have to say, this rifle was far better than I expected. After disassembling and cleaning with 3 cans of carburetor cleaner to remove the cosmoline I found a nice shiney bore with excellent rifling. I oiled it up and action was very smooth. I took it to the range today and had no problems whatsoever. I had 4 inch groups at 250yds. It's a tough battle proven rifle you just don't have to worry about.
4.0 Rating surprised - 3/8/2013Century Arms Chinese Type 53 Bolt Action Carbine 7.62x54R 20.25" Barrel 5 Round Capacity Hardwood Stock Blued RI1968-G4.0000
Reviewer: T Moore
I was pleasantly surprised when I got my Type 53. The wood stock has been through the ringer as I expected it to be, but the metal is in surprisingly great shape. The bore looked nice even without cleaning (bore wasn't dark/can clearly differentiate between lands and grooves) and the bolt cycles pretty easy. I'm happy that I picked one up!
4.0 Rating Great gun - 2/22/2013Century Arms Chinese Type 53 Bolt Action Carbine 7.62x54R 20.25" Barrel 5 Round Capacity Hardwood Stock Blued RI1968-G4.0000
Reviewer: Michael - SC
Got this gun about a week after ordering it. At first I was suspicious because the box was damaged and the gun was loose on the inside. After inspecting it closer, the rifle was 10x better than I was expecting it to be. Given that I am going to have to work the cosmoline out of the wood every year for the next foreseeable future, this gun is quickly becoming my favorite. Can't wait to see a bear in front of it.
