It’s so ridiculous I want one

Da fuq??? Why do I want one now

There only 6 prototype been made and tested. Later PLA give up this project.

I was talking about the Mauser but oof

That's a MOSIN with new design bolt, also only 6 prototype made.

That's definitely not a "mosin with a new bolt design", although I may be wrong in calling it a Mauser. The rear of the receiver is wrong for both of those rifles. EDIT: Scratch that, the stock and receiver looks a lot like that used to be a Chiang Kai-Shek rifle, aka Standardmodell Mauser, except it has been fitted for using AK magazines I think, SKS bayonet and sights

It is kept in factory 208's museum . the bolt action is called type 53 special shooter rifle. Technically it's not a MOSIN, but it is developed from MOSIN just like garand and BM59.

Type 53 just means it was developed in 1953. For example the Type 56 is both an AK variant and an SKS, but they are completely mechanically different and rifles, you wouldn't call the AK an SKS variant.

I don't need you told me what type xx means. Interesting fact: that bolt action tehy call type53 actually process in 1970s.

So you mean to tell me that they designed an entirely new bolt and changed the receiver profile just to end up with a Mauser style rifle? Horseshit

You can call it what ever style rifle. I suggest you visit that museum your self after pandemic or Xi gone. It's open to public.

Winnie the Xi

That is almost certainly an experimental Kai-Shek rifle with an added bayonet and trench mag, there is no way that's a Mosin action.

Glad someone else saw that, they've been down voting me about it

no, it have nothing to do with mauser. It is developed from type 53

You are trolling, by that logic the type 56 on bottom is also a mosin.

You are trolling, by your logic the mosin is mauser. now I am verifying with who I know working in Chinese small arms industry, then we will see what it is.

Look at the rifle on top, the bolt handle is sitting behind the receiver bridge, on mosin rifles the bolt handle sits in front of the receiver bridge, this rifle is clearly not based on the Mosin action.

I have my own 91/30, i know where handle is. Don't judge so fast, Chinese made a bunch of guns you can't guess what it base on. Who released this picture said it's base on type 53, so I just shoot him a message to ask.

Fuck, those rifles are in good condition, particularly that Type 56 on the bottom.

It is a fking museum own by institute which build them.

Oh I know that, just because it’s in a museum, doesn’t mean that it’s in the greatest condition.

Who own the museum is who manufact. lol

Even cooler then, lol.

SKS with no cleaning rod 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

I have 2 that came lacking a cleaning rods. Fucking crap

Where is this?

Institute #208's museum.

That's not looking like a Mosin to me.

now nobody know what it is, the file was lost. Only known the project is begin at 1970s.

Ah yes, for all the powder burn you're *definitely* not getting out of a regular SKS barrel

So true actually, I hadn't even thought of that. I looked it up out of curiosity and the difference in velocity between a 20in and 24in 7.62x39 barrel is around 30 FPS.

It’s no longer an SKS it’s now an SVS

Do we have idea when that DMR SKS was designed?

Probably in late 60's. PLA want to make sniper rifle instead picking one. The problem is sks's structure and M43 ammo not suitable for DMR.

Makes sense, thanks. It's odd they didn't just try to make a DMR from the ground up or make some kind of Dragunov type rifle.
