It must not have the bolt hold open feature, I doubt its worn off because this rifle definitely hasn't seen much action.

OK now for the age of the rifle...no serial # to be found but I did find a 2-letter code. It has an "IJ" stamped on the barrel.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Sorry I missed this...

the IJ code is September of 1966
