A lot of MK85 questions lately , so what’s one more.
I’m going in the morning to look at what the seller says is a early MK85. I asked him if it was early enough that it might not have the Green Mountain barrel. He had no idea. From my research if it had 6 land grooves it was not a Green Mountain and would have either 1-48, 1-32 or 1-28 twist. If it had 8 lands then it was a Green Mountain it would be a 1-28 twist. I will obviously look for the GM logo. Any other ways to tell what barrel it might have. Also he said he upgraded it so you can remove the nipple and he changed the striker ( plunger?). Any idea what he might have done?
It’s a wood stock blue barrel .50 cal.
