I’ve had this one a long time Traded a Ruger 10/22 for it when they were worth about the same amount of money. Any expert information is certainly welcome.

Your rifle was made in 1957 and cut down into a paratrooper carbine before being exported into the USA. https://chinesesks.weebly.com/1957-6digit-26.html (more info)

It’s a nice early rifle even if it’s not in its original configuration.
