They did also import Norinco AK's, but I would not necessarily draw any Chinese connection to this interesting modification.

Three friends and I bought four M1 carbines from these folks about 15 years ago with this import stamp. It was stamped in tiny letters on the receiver where the slide would cover it if locked back. Mine was a Rockola and I still have it and sometimes shoot it. The cost was $169.00 each.
