serial #8274, 22 LR, 23'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. Between 1958-1959 the U.S. Marine Corps purchased approximately 3,500 MC-58 rifles for use in training, the configuration and weight of the rifle set to replicate that of the M1, with the serial number range for said rifles falling between 6000-9500. The metal surfaces retain about 96-97% original gray-green Parkerized finish with fine speckled oxidation staining along the barreled action, touches of high edge wear around the muzzle and front sight, and some light handling marks on the barrel. The bolt remains bright with spots of light oxidation staining, the magazine showing spots of the same along its exposed base, and the rear sights shows some light oxidation. The pistolgrip walnut stock is in very good to very good plus condition with scattered light handling marks and a few minor dings, and the inside of the pistolgrip is marked with an exceptionally faint but correct DoD acceptance mark. The metal markings are intact and crisp with both barrel and receiver reading ''USMC PROPERY'' along with the standard markings, the triggerguard is scratch-numbered ''12153'', and the serial number is within the correct range. The rifle retains the protected blade front sight and Redfield aperture rear sight, meant to simulate the sight picture of the M1, and included is a single H&R-marked 10-round magazine. A solid example of these Marine Corps training rifles, well suited to a martial collection. (14B11700-70) {C&R} (1500/2000)
