    I believe that is what Gander purchased. I do not know how many actually came into the country. My sources saw that there are 40 left scattered through out Gander stores.

    If you have a Gander store near by, they will search for you and bring it into the store. You do not have to pay for it if they do.

    My local GM had three. The mgr said he sold one the first day, so he ordered 2 more. I saw the one on the shelf, said I'd take it, and the saleman said he'd go get me one out of the back. I'm glad he did because the difference in the wood grain is huge, mine looks great. I went by today to check out (again) the one on the shelf. It is and A2, as I guess they all are, and is a plain jane good grain rifle. It has a chunk (small) of wood out of the butt at the plate. No carrying case with these. The gun mgr told me GM got one per store plus 6.

    I know it is a little late but almost all GM firearms can be price adjusted by the Mgr or assistant. If one is damaged, it should be priced accordingly.

    You also have a one year warrranty on the rifle. My GM gunsmith had to wire wheel my mags to get them to fit easier. Probably should have just sanded the inside of the mag well rather then the mags.

    Have them find you a gun case. They are pretty neat. Also, there is a sight adjusting tool that come in the case. If you scope the rifle, the rifle does not fit too well in the case. You should also get a heavy buffalo leather sling . Tool not shown here...
