I also have one of the 1960's NRA carbines in my collection, a Quality Hardware, but I'm not as fortunate as you to have the paperwork. My grandfather ordered it and set it back and never fired it, it is in absolutely pristine condition. He said that he and several of his friends ordered one at the same time and that all of them appeared like new or newly overhauled.

As the oldest grandson, my grandmother gave it to me several years after my grandfather's passing.
