I dropped by the store and got more info and a closer look. The Rifle is stamped on the right wrist as a 1967 Ishapore Type 2A1 in 7.62. The tag calls it a Mk.III. The blacking is reasonable. There are a couple of grooted-up screw heads and the front sling swivel is a tad bent.. The front sight is off-center to the right, presumably having been adjusted by the last owner? The lower stock is in excellent condition. The rear hand guard was split near the breech and has been repaired with two splices to stabilize it. The front hand guard has a brass pin through it forward of the rear sight but I couldn't see a split. The consignee is asking $500. Should I ask for a lower price?

Thanks in advance.
