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.

1.0 Rating Poor Condition - 12/9/2012Century Arms Chinese Type 53 Bolt Action Carbine 7.62x54R 20.25" Barrel 5 Round Capacity Hardwood Stock Blued RI1968-G1.0000
Reviewer: Disappointed
"Used Good" is a flat out misrepresentation in my case. Stock is black and heavily marked and dented, very little if any bluing remains, no numbers match any other numbers. Worse than all that, the rifle looks like it was dragged over concrete. The metal butt plate and bolt end are heavily gouged and are not cosmetically repairable. I have ordered several Mosins online and have been pleased each time. My complaint here is that the gun is described by CTD as "Good Used" condition. According to some reviews, you may get one like that. I want others to know it is possible to get a rifle that is in "Poor Very Used and Beat Up" condition too. I did contact customer service shortly after my purchase but they were not able to do anything for me. Since I bought mine they have lowered the price. Prob a reason for that.
4.0 Rating Good bang for the buck - 12/1/2012Century Arms Chinese Type 53 Bolt Action Carbine 7.62x54R 20.25" Barrel 5 Round Capacity Hardwood Stock Blued RI1968-G4.0000
Reviewer: T53
My T53 took about a week to come in to my local FFL dealer. As others have stated, the stock is beat. Action is smooth. My rifle didn't have a lot of cosmoline and overall, shape is good. There is a lot of cool matching China unit symbols on the receiver and on the bolt, but can only be seen when the bolt is removed. They look like pyramids. Bolt and rifle numbers do match. Now the bad: bore isn't shiny. Rifling is good but a bit of rust was in there. I suspect a diet of corrosive ammo. I'm sure the rifle is capable of at least 100 yard line as is. I'm a little concerned with accuracy but am willing to invest in a little barrel repair, if necessary, because the rest of the rifle is good shape. For historic value and rough use, this rifle is hands down a winner. If for nothing else, a great trunk monkey.

Reviewer: J. Dod
This is a pretty solid rifle. If you're thinking about getting it, GET IT! My stock needs some work but over all, it's a good rifle.
4.0 Rating Had to get another - 11/4/2012Century Arms Chinese Type 53 Bolt Action Carbine 7.62x54R 20.25" Barrel 5 Round Capacity Hardwood Stock Blued RI1968-G4.0000
Reviewer: Jeepers
Decided to get a second one. This one was truly in good condition. Cleaned it up, refinished the stock and took it to the range. It shot true and kicked like a mule. I’ve only seen one Mosin carbine in the last few gun shows and haven’t seen any in the gun stores in quite a while. Get one before they are gone. Take your time cleaning and refinishing it. Give it your personal touch and it will be unique. Thanks, CTD!!!!
4.0 Rating Pleasantly Surprised - 10/7/2012Century Arms Chinese Type 53 Bolt Action Carbine 7.62x54R 20.25" Barrel 5 Round Capacity Hardwood Stock Blued RI1968-G4.0000
Reviewer: Jbaggie88
The carbine received was much better than expected. The bore and bolt assembly are in excellent shape for a 55 year old rifle. After treating with mineral spirits to remove cosmoline and a cleaning, the rifle is very serviceable. The stock definitely reflects use and will need to be refinished. All serial numbers matched except for the bolt. The bolt operates very crisply. Very pleased with my purchase and may buy another for my son.
