Rebuilt and rebarreled at Tooele Arsenal Nov 1965. Nice example of a rebuild that is getting a lot of attention these days. Mike Bernazzani is doing feature articles on the various rebuilds for the GCA Journal, LEAD is next but TE is in the works. Nice rifle.
Looks like that after it was rebuilt at Tooele in 1965 it went overseas. It was purchased by Interarms and imported back into the U.S. Most likely in the 1970's. Note the InterArms Alex Va. import marking on barrel. (third picture).
Also note the Italian (Breda) produced Bullet Guide, which it may have picked up while in foreign service.
As stated, nice clean rifle. Be a pleasure to have that one...
Thanks to all for quick responds. This form is full of knowledgeable members.
