No, it came that way from AL-SAM-BOB on ebay...I sure miss those guys! It's one of 8 I restored back in 2006. I'm finishing up the last two with some details. The last two years I've been afflicted with Black Rifle Disease. I wince when I think of the money I've got in those...yikes! Gonna try to restore a couple more carbines. The QHMC carbine was a beat up arsenal rebuild, I had it reparked by Chuckindenver..he does really good work.
