Nice! Is this a CMP rifle? What manufacturer? What grade? Be sure to give a range report after you shoot it.

There guess was its a cmp that was sold off it has a springfield barrel and receiver with a mismached other parts it is in id say fair shape the riflings good with a little pitting at most I might need it recrowned but I need to shoot it first there was a strange yellow substance inside that was dried and kinda flakey looking but wasnt rust.
