CKC capture rifles in Vietnam..Mauser? What kind?

Post by Niner » Wed Jul 28, 2004 8:43 pm

I have seen and heard of several reports of captured "CKC" bolt action rifles in Vietnam back during the war. I can't get a clear picture of what they were. I believe they were bolt action rifles. I asked this at Tuco's site and got a lot of "it's an 'SKS'".....before it sank into the sunset after one day. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >: --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/mad.gif ALT=">:">; But one soul who actually read my post before answering, suggested it was a Chang Kai <!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:yellow;font-size:small;">C</span><!--EZCODE FONT END-->hec model. This is in line with what I was thinking , although the offical spelling is Chang Kai-<!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:yellow;font-size:small;">S</span><!--EZCODE FONT END-->hek, in Ball's book at least.





There were several VZ24 pattern rifles about like the "Chan Kai-Shek", and I was wondering if anybody knew for sure the origin of the term and how many models were included in the discription.
