    I have seen the separated P before--I might even have one in the pile. Memory is going and not enough curious to dig. I think Springfield Sporters had some and they were attributed to a far east police dept. The heavy varnish was done to preserve the rifle in the damp climate. Another do I remove the wrappings quandry!

    Oh please, please dig for it! If the varnish really was "official", maybe I'll leave it (but it still looks horrible).
