Least I think it is. It has so many numbers and letters on its parts that it gives me a headache to try to find the answer to them all. One I found answers from though was the number on the receiver which according to this site ( http://myplace.frontier.com/~alecco.....nski/id11.html ) means it was made and shipped out on October 1944.
Its condition, though still working very well, shows its experiences in the most violent and bloody year of the Second World War well, maybe even Korea if it was brought there.
You can't see it from this angle, but the rifle's suffered a bit of corrosion damage from firing military ammunition, but I have shot the rifle a year or two back and it was reliable and it hit pretty much exactly where you pointed the barrel.

Yeah, only bad things are the op rod is totally worn out- last time I took it out the op-rod derailed while the the bolt slammed forward!
And the furniture is finished in a "kitchen sink" lamination job- which bubbles when it gets hot enough. Might just get new walnut furniture, or get the op rod fixed or replaced

Nah, just need to take the op rod out to see what kind it is (cut or uncut). And see if it's more cheaper to have it rebuilt or replaced. I read how if you insist on using it even though it derails after a few rounds- it could permanently damage the oprod even further, damage the bolt, op rod track, or in worst cases... crack the receiver. If the receiver cracks, that's a gun I can't replace- destroying history, and pretty much making it just a paperweight. So, I'm having to restrain myself from shooting it.
