Post by Ted »

Just wondering if the bow guard and bottom metal on first year M700 carbines had a matte finish?

Have been able to determine that both the bow guard and bottom metal on first year (1962) M700 BDL Carbines had a matte finish.

I have come to the conclusion that the first Generation bottom metal is a hard anodized finish of the aluminum, giving that dark gray matte appearance.
