Centerfire Systems of Versailles, KY listed this carbine for sale in their catalog dated 7/20/1995 for $324.97. The carbine does not appear in their next catalog dated 01/1996, meaning it was sold during that period of time. Centerfire Systems obtained this and other carbines direct from INTRAC. Centerfire's first catalog dated 6/8/1995 does not list this carbine, indicating it was received from INTRAC probably sometime in June or July of 1995.
Centerfire's inventory list description of the stock, barrel, barrel band, and trigger housing marking are consistent with the below configuration. Accompanied by the matching last 4 digits of the receiver serial number on the bolt, stock, handguard, trigger housing, and slide it appears this carbine has retained the same configuration as when it was used by the Austrians.
