Does it have 6.5 on it? Because some of the later ones were 7.7... From what I understand they rechamber the 7.7 to .308.

Looks like an assault weapon to me.
See the trigger?

Buffalo Arms in Sandpoint Idaho probably has a lot of parts, ammo, reloading info and components. I would give them a call. 1-208-263-6953

Does the rifle separate into halves at the steel band in front? If so, you may have the paratroop version of the rifle. Very rare.

That one looks exactly like one that my brother inherited. He bought some Norma ammunition for it. He got about a 2” group at 50 yards, which is very good considering his 68 year old eyes.

The trigger. One part that they have yet to try banning.
