I had been registered under a different name quite awhile ago and sent it to you. Lost pass word and name so I reregistered. 5357-58 no crest 1 bayonet I got off ebay no S/N or proof marks

Somewhere in it's life, it received a replacement stock that had no crest where it should have had one according to your s/n. There are 3 other rifles like yours where they have had their crested, damaged stocks replaced with non-crested stocks. There is 1 stock in the 3000 range that has a crest that shouldn't have the crest. Thanks for the bayonet info, too. Thanks, Ol'Duke

It was in near perfect, unfired condition when I got it from Empire Arms a few years ago. I see no signs of the stock being replaced. Last Edited By: mulletguter2 01/09/08 04:14 PM. Edited 1 times.

Thanks, Ol'Duke

Overall in quite nice shape, perfect rifling, still has cosmoline in the muzzlebreak. Some minor handling dings to wood.

Quite a few have been showing up of late that are new numbers to me and that's great. I've been having ones show up that were floating thru the different auctions, but, here lately, they've been new numbers... Thanks, all... Thanks, Ol'Duke

I've been looking for 2 1/2 years. Excellent condition about 98 %. No marks on the bolt face or feed ramp. Serial # 0895 , no crest on stock, just the Armed Forces of Columbia on the receiver. Paid $450. Cant wait to get her to the range. Doug

You did well on your price. If you check the auctions, they are nuts if they think they can get the prices they are asking. They should be valued between $400-$500 depending on where you are in the world. You hit it right in the middle. Prices have escalated in the past, but, should be topped out at $500...just my .02 worth. Good pickup on your rifle. You will like the mild recoil on it. Remember that this is a battle rifle and as such, it has a battle sight. Big peephole precludes getting a real tight group. Thanks, Ol'Duke

Imagine 2 rifles at the same small show here in Knoxville....about 10 tables apart, but a world of numbers apart. The early rifle, which a buddy bought for $350 was about 75% and had no disk. The later rifle which was really late had the disk, but someone had polished the disk and the rifle was about 90%. It was decently priced at $449 and I think one could have gotten it down to $400. Thanks, Ol'Duke

Were any of the rifles delivered to Colombia in this configuration? Interestingly, there was virtually no other info on the site concerning the rifle.Lots more here in your thread!

Posts: 350 (05/14/08 03:57 PM) Veteran member Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	John, I have never seen one with sling slots. All of the Colombian configured rifles have the swivels...that I have seen posted....and in person. There were other calibers available for purchase, 7mm, 8mm, 6.5mm, 7.65mm as well as the 30.06. It's possible that the museum sample was to be produced in one of the other calibers with the slots as part of the contract. My guess is that they went to swivels as they were easier and cheaper to produce than milling out the holes for the stock slots. Just a guess, though. I'd be interested in seeing that picture. Can you put up the link to that museum? Thanks, Ol'Duke
