I had hopes that it might be an NRA sales rifle due to the serial number but no marking on the TG. Whoever did it, did a neat job on adding the PG and cutting up the bayonet lug into a band.

This might be a good thread for others to post pictures of similar rifles that they might own or links to previous discussions. It is always good to have the great old threads brought to the top once in a while.
