    The one I received is NRA excellent. full match, mirror bore and all cartouches. It took me ten minutes to order. It was very pleasant to do with no legal bs.... This rifle design was ahead of it's time and Still in service with the AK and M16icon. Both straight pull rifles.. I forgot.. The FAL, G3, Cetme and SKS are straight pull rifles too... Gary.

    Nope, I don't have that, ice man's bow, or a P210 pistol. I have Schmidt Rubin rifles. Gary.
