more than fair enough lmao. Dude I bought it from probably couldn't either. He got it in the 70s iirc. 

Bolt and oprod are all original USGI parts. One of the earlier production rifles from the 80s. I have it in a different chassis right now but I figure I'd post it here

Definitely. For the price I got them at they make great fillers

I’m in my 70s I couldn’t even move that. Lol

darn, was hoping we could trade or something. I don't specialize in sealed stuff but for how much I got this for I couldn't pass it up

I collect groupings mostly not so much equipment unless it’s part of a group so I’m not the right guy.   i am interested in how you do on this so please keep us updated. 

Around the grand ledge area. Ya wouldn't happen to be interested in buying it yourself would ya?

I acquired this in a large collection I bought. I assumed it was Victorian era British. I finally had a chance to examine it and was surprised to find that it has buttons marked  PENNa and what I am pretty sure is "NG". The maker label is Horstmann, Philadelphia and the buttons are Horstmann, Philadelphia marked. The label is named althpugh I am struggling to make it out. And it appears to be dated "3/7 1902". I was surprised to find a dress jacket of this style being used in the early 1900s, other than ceremonial groups. Just wondering if anyone could tell me more about it? Anything remotely similar I found online was 1850s - Civil War era. Thabks for any info.

If cheap, always good to take a chance.
