[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2535744, member: 7157"] From the looks of it, you got a better-than-average example! The barrel is dated later than I'd expect, but examples exist in the IHC database of earlier rifles with later-dated barrels; there are several reports of 4.54M rifles with 7-53 dated barrels. The wear numbers are quite good, too. While the stock isn't IHC, it's a good-looking USGI stock. The rear HG looks to be birch? The op rod being IHC also is a nice little score, as well as the other IHC bits. I'm curious - why would you strip it down almost to the last nut and bolt? Are you planning to do a ground-up correction? Also, what was the armorer's inspection date on the hang tag? [/QUOTE]
