congrats on your weapon choice & either way these are so under rated
if the serial were low... very low & stamped as POLICE CARBINE maybe? for a collector.....
but these were built as a service weapon and built as to take a hard life.. however they do lack a thin bluing applied to the outer metal surface is about the only weak point beside the looooong trigger take up but you get use to it if you so happen to de flower your queen :wink:
the true value is feeding it a steady diet of ammo and sharing the experience your fellow friends knowing the ability of how accurate and reliable theses are that you owe it to yourself to experience..
