Is the rifle a Chinese contract 88’ from OEWG ? Before the Hanyang Arsenal started building their own 88’s .

@@zavod.fiftyseven from what I could see on the video the rifle looked in decent condition . Did you have to do a lot of cleaning on it ? A couple of months ago I acquired a Hanyang 88 rifle in ok condition , I think it will be shootable , just last month I bought a 88-05 made by Loewe , which looks so far in good condition

i will try to deep clean it before the next episode. so far I just wiped down the surface with oil. Hanyang 88s are hard to come by nowadays - pricey for the general condition they are in. got be a dedicated collector.
