Handguard and slingwell of stock do not have last 4 digits of receiver serial number. Right side of stock has ordnance crossed
cannons. Centerfire Systems catalog 7/20/1995 lists the stock as a highwood HI (Inland), 96-01 as a "J stock". It would
appear the highwood stock the carbine returned from Austria with was swapped out for the "J stock" while the carbine was
still for sale at Centerfire Systems.

The original Bavaria agency marking was ground off and covered with a black paint like substance. The Bavaria Rural Police
marking was stamped a letter at a time into top of receiver to left of bolt, over the previously removed marking. Who
removed the agency markings were private gun brokers who owned the carbines after they were used by Germany. This carbine was
sold to Austria and Austria did not alter any prior German markings, or a lack thereof. This carbine was likely restamped
by a gun broker prior to its sale to Austria.
