I recently purchased this carbine and I'd like to get opinions on it. It was not marketed as anything other than a shooter grade gun and was quite dirty from recent firing. I'm no expert but it seems to me it might be better than advertised. When I bought it there was no screw or sling swivel on the barrel band, I replaced the missing parts with repo parts (there discoloration on the hand guard from the tape holding it together). I believe it is S'G' marked but the mark between the S and G is very difficult to make out. The stock is a high wood oval cut stock marked SG, I'm not sure if there are prime marks on it as its relatively light, there are crossed cannons that are very faint. I'll post more pictures shortly. Thanks in advance for all the comments.
