Are there minty original specimens of these? I have not seen one.
Yes there are... my buddy has one... as minty as they get...

Looks great!
I don’t want to hijack your thread, but I’ve just recently been looking into the history of these rifles and it’s pretty interesting. I have one that’s been very well used, and the receiver has been drilled and tapped for a scope mount. I see there are people in this thread that have knowledge about these, and I’m just wondering if that has affected the desirability or collectibility I’m a good or bad way.
