Sweet find. That's awesome to have that one and the provenance that comes with it.
That's pretty incredible and both of your rifles are very nice.
Love the RCMP marking. I had a Platoon Commander that was issued an FN C1 that had that marking...
I was going to bid on that one but completely forgot. I even looked up the serial number ahead of time. Did you find a new buttstock?
Had the light-colored 66 code butt in stock, almost a perfect match.
Really nice looking rifles.
Here's your 3L's slightly younger sibling.
