@Chad, What barrel date? I'm betting that it is a CMP return!

Wayne…Lolol…good catch. I was like…what does he mean? Then I looked.
I read the original post in the thread when it was first posted a while back and didn’t re-read. For some reason, after reading Charlie’s post, was thinking the barrel was dated and not matching (never mind that it’s a 5.5mil WRA and sure wouldn’t have a date). Must have been a different topic. Confusing my OP opening fact patterns. Sorry.
Anyway….I agree…probably a CMP return with no import mark. |

To me it looks like at least the barrel band, front sight, and stock are not original to Bavarian service and were changed out at some point. Does the stock have the last 4 of the serial in the slingwell? I recall the CMP also received some incomplete Bavarian rifles and they made them serviceable to sell in the last carbine lottery. Might be something like that, or a "correction" by the previous owner.
In any case it is a nice looking rifle. |
