No oiler or cleaning rods, but they are fairly easy to find. I am going to a gun show this weekend to see what turns up as far as a carbine rear sight and see what else I might find. My understanding is that the earlier '98 carbines used the '96 style rear sight and since that is the type that will fit the handguard, that is the one I am aiming to find  (pun intended).

The bore is pretty nice. It was a bit dark when I first got it, but after some quality time with Hoppes and a bore brush and many patches, it looks good with sharp rifling and no pits.

I am generally pretty good at spotting refinished guns, and I believe that the finish is original on this thing as the roll marks are crisp with no dished out areas and the bluing wear is consistent with the age of the gun and overall condition. It does look like the stock has been sanded some, but for what I have in it, I am not going to complain a whole bunch.

If anyone knows where I might purchase a rear sight I would be most grateful.
