Cartouche is a partial but is obviously a real "GHS". Internal parts are all correct and original with exceptions noted as follows: To be perfectly clear, the following parts are not "as issued": Correct SA-3 op rod but has had the relief cut applied, follower rod is of later manufacture, gas pad on barrel has been chromed, windage flush nut and elevation screw are reproduction.
