I haven't had it apart yet, but from the shape of the stock and the stock splice, it's a post war stock. The barrel is 1942. The hang tag shows a date of 201078, so I'm guessing it was reworked on October 20, 1978. I haven't been able to clean and inspect the barrel yet, but the crown is flawless. Everything about this rifle (except maybe the but guard, which is a bit beat up) looks like it is 5 years old. It's in really, really good shape.
