I just picked this up this afternoon. It's been lightly arsenal refurbished and in a walnut stock. I've been told this stock is unusual for these.

*Question - is this elm? I was told walnut, but I'm not a stock expert.

First year production and German proofed.

Most likely it was a rifle purchased by a US soldier stationed in West Germany which he then personally "imported" back to the States upon his return.
