The main tube
and endcap are finished in green, with the endcap bearing the maker’s marks and serial number. The baseplate and bipod are also finished in green, with the bipod bearing a metal KVS data plate on the windage adjustment mechanism. Also included is an M4 optical sight with leather case.

and scratches overall. The baseplate shows heavier wear and oxidization, and the bipod and sight are
