Chinese Hanyang M1888 Commission Carbine

8x57J  (.318)

I saw this piece whilst on a visit to the SOG retail store in Lebanon, OH. It was in a corner, unmarked and un-priced. I asked the price. The clerk made a call. After he was done he asked me to make an office. I offered $15. It was all mine.

I have a M1888 Hanyang rifle that I shoot, but this carbine scares me. The rear sight base is not attached to the barrel, but is held in place by the hand guard. The whole thing rattled when shaken. Very scary...
