I was well into manhood when the plastic fantastic's arrived in the 1980's and remember reading about these when they first came out, but at the time I chocked them up as a fad, and I don't ever remember seeing the model with the wood furniture.
then the Clinton assault weapons ban basically bankrupted the company, and they resurfaced after the ban went away
so this weekend I ran across this one with some fairly decent walnut and decided to bring it home
I don't really know how many of the pre-ban guns they made, but this one is an early Bakersfield gun with a 3 digit serial number, without the patent numbers on it, just the patent pending marked on the rifle
every other one of these I have seen on the web today shows a patent number and the vast majority are the non wood models
anyway it shoots good, although I have not put it on paper, my son filled the mag yesterday with some mixed ammo and ran it out in the rain
he had 1 stovepipe out of the 100 round mag and that was a old bulk Winchester load and I have never liked bulk Winchester rimfire
