Just thought I'd inform everyone that Omega Weapons has Chinese T-53s for $99 shipped. Granted they are in rough shape, but they clean up nicely. I've ordered two so far, my first one being a 1956 T53. I threw in a few extra bucks on my most recent order to specially request any year but 1956. Haven't picked it up yet cause my FFL just got back from an extended stay in Vegas for shot show.
Yeah, I know I need to get my C&R but my FFL does transfers for super cheap. My first one is cleaning up nice, no numbers matching at all. Lucked out and got one with a rack number on it. On a different forum, someone got one with a cleaning rod as well Here is the link  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I remember when they had them for three for $99.00.....I did not even know Omega was still around. I wonder if it's run by the same guy from the 90s.

Said he found this batch squirreled away, he thought he had sold them all when they were still around $35 each plus shipping |

I did a quick clean up so I could test fire before I spent too much time cleaning it up. Sorry fellows, apparently they updated the website since I first posted cause they were listed right above the AK bayonet package |

I've never seen a chinese mauser with a shootable bore.
A buddy and I have been sorting, cleaning, and selling off a collection of a late friend. He had a couple pallets of chinese mausers. I'd guess maybe 2-300, maybe more. FWIW, some look nice on the outside, look like decent respectable mausers, then you see the bore. No bore, rifling half way, rifling 3/4 of the way, all of them. Then you get the ones the chinese have made stocks for....Oh boy you really should see some of those  I took one certain German K98k that had been used by the chinese, 75% of it matches too, bore is rough, but barely still there. I headspaced it and took to the range just for shits and giggles, it shoots a bit low at 50yds, but the bullet goes through the target sideways
Yeah, if you want a chinese mauser, don't ever expect to shoot it.

From what I've heard, the Chinese Mausers are best served as decorative wall art pieces. Though someone of Russian Mosin Nagant forum got one and was using it for hunting several years ago

Something about a investor either backed out or tried to get them all and cut the Omega guy out of the deal. I'd love to hear the whole story on that one as the details were not all that clear, more like mil-surp lore.....The pistols were said to be in huge chicken wire baskets stored in a cave with other vintage hardware the chi-coms had put away after the revolution. Makes me wonder if they are still there.
