For all you JLD gurus out there, I wanted to make sure I understand a few things before I make the jump to an actual NIB JLD rifle. First, for reference, the rifle is Serial# A21XX. It has the wide green handguard and supposedly had a plain 18" heavy barrel that at some time was threaded. With this in mind, if I understand everything correctly, may I assume the following:

1. This is an earlier rifle but one not so early that it has the potentila for a soft trunion;
2. It is early enough that it can fire all ammo types; and
3. It may have some German parts (how do you tell).

Am I missing anything important? Thoughts?

THANKS in advance!!!!!

Thats the scuddlebutt round here. Take pics of the bolt head markings and the top of carrier and i can tell you. Back plate may be marked HK underneath. Count the flutes in the chamber FOR ME ,PLEASE? And tell me how many rifling grooves there are. Sounds like a good one so far.

Just look thru the back of receiver down the barrel while holding a flashlight aiming down barrel from the muzzle and you will be able to count the Chamber flutes perfectly.You have to start from the 12oclock flute or the 6oclock flute and then go around and count how many.Rifling,just count the grooves from the throat or from the muzzle. Should be a WILSON barrel with 8 grooves like one of my other JLD,s.
