I'm thankful that I at least ordered one.  It's pictured along side a minty Red River HRA rebuild with a '65 barrel.

The IBM is exactly as received.  While I have an appropriate Euro sling for it I opted for a WWII USGI.  Barrel is IBM 9-43.

Great carbine! Last 4 on bolts matches last four of SN. A nice little bonus.

Thanks!  I feel fortunate to have it.  As opposed to kicking myself for not ordering multiple "flip sight" CMP offerings when they were available I tell myself to be glad I got one.

Got a nice Quality mag catch but it's staying where it is.  I got lucky and got a nice mag catch for my QHMC a long time ago.  I think I ordered it from Reese Supply.  Those were the days.  Got some nice stocks from them back then.

I remember ordering a bunch of parts from Reese right before they closed shop. Late to the party, but I got some nice stuff. If I remember, they didn't accept credit cards. When my check got there they were out of something I ordered and they threw in some other parts to make up the difference!
Nice Bavarian. Those were some gems at a good price.
