I recently acquired this rifle, serial number R-23594 out of the UK. I believe the barreled action is confirmed to have been a C3. The rest was replaced and refurbished before being sold as an M82. It came with a Pecar scope mounted. It now lives in Canada.

Thought I would share some pictures of it beside 1200TX R-37288 which I found at a pawn shop in Canada. Unfortunately I don't have much info on this one, possibly refinished at some point?

Here is how it currently sits with some original parts, and side by side with 1200TX.
