Picked up a decent Jinsen this weekend at a local show and what strikes me as odd is the location of the Jinsen Arsenal stamp. Normally it is located to the right of the serial number but on this one it looks like when they stamped on the serial number they forgot about a bit of extra room for the arsenal stamp as it is applied on top of the last digit of the serial number. Is this normal for/of Jinsen arsenal or just a hip-up at the factory?

Dale, that's an oops. Since its so tainted, I'll be glad to take it off you hands. Very nice....There are a fair amount that have double struck serial numbers, so it appears they have 6 digit #s, but none that I'm aware of quite like that! Trey

Here's the pro and cons to this one. Cons first, mum is ground, bolt matchs but safety and firing pin do not (but they do match to each other) and the aft screw in the trigger guard is messed up due to someone trying to take staked screw out. I didn't mess with it anymore so I haven't taken the rifle all the way to clean it but over all it is a very nice condition, one of the better ones I've seen lately.

Dale, if you get tired of it, let me know, its the little 'oopsies' like that I'm sort of attracted to. Thanks for posting. Trey
