[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 1668163, member: 13284"] Shadow, I would think that it was reparked during an arsenal rebuild and saw little, if any, use afterwards. The quality of metal finish on your rifle looks like what you normally run across on a service grade special rifle. CMP's website says that service grades will have metal that typically exhibits worn and mixed colors of the parkerized finish. The metal on your rifle is special or collector grade quality so you definitely lucked out. The finish on my rifle is uniform, but probably only 80%. If you can shoot me your email address in a pm, I can email the form to you. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
