I Need Help With Another Heavy Rifle~

I just blew up your pic (as much as my computer allows), and it does look like Chicom Type 53! If it is, it's probably nicest looking Type 53 I've seen. Usually they are very rough, and the stocks look like they were covered in THICK shellac (chipped and peeling in MANY places). If this one IS Chicom, it most likely has the stock that's been refinished.

Closeup of the receiver markings would help of course.
