Seems all the talk is of LEAD rebuilds and never any of the others
I was going through my safe a few weeks ago looking to thin out the collection some and came across this one, 1964 Tooele rebuild
Its the rifle that started my love of 1960's rebuilds. It is a CMP USGI Field Grade, was not a return rifle but one that never left possession of the US Army
Appears to have original 1943 barrel , pads are not chromed. MW-2 TW 3 1/2 . As I understand the Tooele rebuilt rifles were one of the least or the least number of rebuilt rifles.
I dont beleive it had been fired much after the rebuild as there was hardly any finish wear to receiver track or bolt lugs. I put a few hundred rds through it and put her away and has been stored ever since
They sure dont have Field Grades like this any more
