Serial number 79,000 range
Has welded bolt and square plain front sight. Would this be considered a last ditch rifle, or is it just starting to show some of the traits.

No mono pod or aircraft wing portion of sight. Is it late enough these were deleted and never installed.

Is receiver late enough it's not safe too shoot...bore is pristine.

Matching serial number on receiver and front band. Mum intact. Dust cover serial number does not match. Any other serial numbers I can look for without taking rifle apart.

Nice Kokura quillion type bayonet with sheath. What does that add to value.

Ultimately it's a friends I'm going to list for sale on here. I'd like to know these answers so I don't sound like a idiot when I list it. He bought it from son of vet who didn't care about it...I don't get it.

Thanks in advance.
