    "...and those that improved upon it."
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Front locking lugs, external claw extractor, five round non-detachable magazine are shared. I think there's more that is not shared: pistol grip, rear peep sight, bent bolt handle, volley sights for a spell, forend, front sight protective wings......
