My son posted my model 1998 rifle with 96 rear sight with question of what upper hand guard to order.We have ordered the hand guard and I have corrected the bolt problems that were pointed out.
    I have a question of the rifle's finish.The entire gun appears to be in the white.The bore is near perfect,mechanically there is very little wear as far as the feeding system and bolt.
    I would like to know what finish should be on the barrel,bolt and other parts of this model.
    The value of this gun is less important to me than it being in its original configuration if it has already been altered.                                                                           I have to have 1 message with no attachments so I will send photo bucket  links next.        Thank you for any help you can give.
