No rust Redfield rear. I know there was US property marked 58 C. Were these sold new to public? Where do I find additional mag? Thanks ahead of time. Oh value, and original stock finish was what?

58C is the only "marked specimen" . Mine is marked USMC. Trigger guard is similar to Garand. Other models will usually have a DCM mark in stock . There are several civilian
Rifles that will have a DCM stamp in the wood . Interesting rifles.

Post some pictures of your rifle if you can.

Here is a link to a thread that has been going for years over on the gunboards forum. I started it as a survey on the MC-58 rifles, but it has expanded to include all things related to the Mod 65's and MC-58's an more. It has a lot of pictures that you might find helpful.
