The actual rifle in question.

[RCS]

The stock had been converted to use the trap door then reconverted back to the original solid butt plate. The front hand guard spacer appears to have the holes and notch which are found in the gas port rifle production. As Rick borecky noted in another forum, the SPG cartouche was not correct for this time period - but found on later stocks, I will post a photo of the correct SA SPG cartouche

Opening at $12000, wonder where it will end up? Or did it already?
