I bought this about 20 or so years ago for the then staggering sum of $200 tax included!

Thats a seriously good looking rifle chili, do you shoot it much? It looks almost as new in the photos.

Thanks Joe! I don't shoot it much anymore, but the kids do! The little monsters won't give me the chance. Other than two coats of linseed oil on the stock about 5 years ago, the only thing I have done to that Carbine is shoot it and clean it. In the past 20 years there has been about 2.5K +/- though it. Most of that was in the first few years after I got it. I am sure there are a few more years of good accuracy left in barrel.

Now that's what I call getting your monies worth.

I particularly like seeing how the sling fits over the oiler in the stock slot... isn't that what it is? My carbine doesn't have a sling, but it's on the list.

Gorgeous!
I'll bet at $200 20 years ago, it was considered a "pricey" carbine, huh?
She's a beaut!
Wish I'd have picked a few more up when they were affordable....

Thanks fer da kind wurds!
Yeah, that "cheap" $200 was about 1/3 of my E-3 pay back then!
Niner-- You are correct about the sling and oiler. I posted the belt pouch (commonly called a stock pouch) is in the gear section.
