Yeah, I understand they were imported, and probably made in Korea.

I'm confused on the use of USGI parts though. How exactly does that work?

The metal parts appear to be in excellent condition. The stock is beat to heck.

This carbine was given to him years ago. He's not particularly interested in it. I think he'll take whatever I give him for it. I just don't want to over-pay or take-advantage of the situation.

I'm going to shoot it a little before I commit.
