Warning: Rifle oozed cosmoline. Be prepared to spend about a week stripping the stock, cleaning, stripping and cleaning some more. I have one and the bore is... a bit rough.

These things were imported from Vietnam and mine looked like it had been dragged down the Ho Chi Minh Trail behind two buffaloes, shot a lot, immersed repeatedly in a rice paddy then stored in a tunnel for about 7 years. Charlie did not take good care of his toys

That said, Charlie's old rifle doesn't shoot too bad. But 3 sessions at the range and I'm still not sure I have all of the cosmoline out of the chamber.
