I bought this rifle back in the late '80s, and have a couple of questions. (yeah, I know, why did I wait sooooooo long to ask?)
The rifle matches, but some of the parts look like they were re-numbered from 56 to 66. The rear barrel band shows both sets of numbers.
The stock appears to have been sanded, as the stock's bolt knob cut-out's edges are rounded. Yet all the other edges are very crisp and sharp on both the handguard as well as the main stock. the serial numbers on the stock look very crisp. (in spite of my crappy photo.) The face of the buttplate is number 5666.
The rifle has two different unit's markings.
One set is seen on the inside of the sling and matches the one on the buttplate tang.
The other set is on the one of the bolt take-down butt disks. regarding the unit marks on the rifle.
Who are these units?
The other question revolves around the sling itself.
It has an "H" buckle arrangement. Was this sling made for a 98AZ ?
All comments and thoughts are welcome.
Thanks for any assistance.
Regards, Ned
