Recently acquired a really nice M69/71 and have a few questions.
1. It is marked "Soc. Ind. Suisse" Ser # 561xx. Am I correct this is a "Sig" and where can I find the manufacture date?
2. Where can I find a front sling swivel? I know they are hard to come by, but you never know when one will become available. The screw is still on the rifle.
3. Is a M-1865 Peabody bayonet appropriate for this rifle? I know there is a M71 bayonet that is somewhat larger and is probably more appropriate but will the M-1865 fit the rifle?
Any information is greatly appreciated
