Great rifle! I have a model 71 carbine that is pristine except for the stock. All matching numbers down to the screws. Someone had sanded the stock to the point that the metal parts are larger than the wood and the only band on the carbine has been lost sometime in the past. It's still an accurate shooter at 100 yards and I intend to build a new stock ... one of these days! I've been saying that for 15 years.
