I'm going to guess that my rifle was manufactured in the early 80's before 1987 when all the rest of the stuff was added. Need to check the rate of twist on my rifle, always thought it was a 1:48 but your info shows that it might be a 1:66, it looks like my barrel is 1 inch across the flats but need to mic it. Talk about going down a rabbit hole
