I have one that I inherited from my dad but I've never shot it........
It's no longer original since my dad had it blued, refinished the wood. It looks beautiful now....
Dad was a Detroit cop and purchased the rifle immediately after the 1967 riots. Not certain where he got it but I'm thinking a local armory since it was greased and wrapped at the time he got it........
Are you sure it’s not an M-14? Back then NG armory’s probably had 14’s.
