I was the first retail purchaser of this rifle and I have never fired it. The stock shows lots of "character" but the barrel and bolt are new or like new. Bolt and receiver serial numbers match, the mag and buttplate do not.
The import mark by CAI is very tastefully done near the end of the barrel. I bought the gun at the New York Shoe Repair and Bargain Center in Crawfordsville when I worked there (shop has been gone for 8 years and the building burned down 5 years ago). I did punch the bore to remove dust the other day when someone was coming to look at what I have for sale.
