These are all standard issue rifles, but I have no idea if the barrels are original, most likely not plus the stocks are way to nice of wood to be a field grade rifle.
I've already gotten a small base die and ran a 100 rounds of the blanks through it and will return them along with the 3 rifles I serviced tomorrow. I'll ask the Captain of the guard to use them first to see if there's a improvement.
