I bought this rifle new in Nov 1997. Serial 006XX - magzines S&W 59. A few months later I made an order from kelTec for a soft case, 2 mecgar 10 round mags, and a sling. The rifle has lived in my safe ever since, sadly I have only shot maybe 100 rounds thru it in over 25 years. Years later I kicked myself in the ass for not getting the Glock option (I don't remember the dealer offering a choice - my fault) and also not buying the light accessory (very dated but would look cool). Anyway hello. It is nice to own a small production gun rich in interesting history. my guess would be 75% of the original 3500 are left and fewer than that in mint shape.
