Ok.. I can blame millman for it. Always showing off his ENABLER
I finally found one, have chased one for years.. and I drug it home. Not an easy rifle to find....much less find for a decent price. I always figured I would have to travel to get it, but little did I expect... one popped up for sale on our local state gun forum for sale, and it was a 5 minute drive from the house..

Very cool! Always exciting when they turn up close to home!

Good find. It looks like mine. They made a shorter version too, if memory serves.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Re: Norinco TU-KKW
Thanks. I have seen these pop up once and a blue moon, but they usually vanish just as quick as they show.
There is a JW-25a.. the TU 33/40. Pull one off the bucket list, put one back on I don't think I have run across one of them yet, I only get to see them in pictures.

I know the feeling, Ron owes me a few grand for all the Turkish Mauser's I ended up with after he showed off all his some years back. Nice find
