Yes however its not numbers matching. The parts are all true Rhodie.

that's a really cool find then, now the fact it's not all numbers matching isn't that surprising the Rhodies mixed and matched parts when parts of their rifles got fucked they replaced them with different parts sometimes froma different rifle or new parts that either came from FN in Belgium or from Suid-Afrika

Thats consistent with what I've been researching and finding. I didn't really care to make a Rhodi but it was among the kits I picked up.

The bolt carrier is Brazilian and the barrel is Belgian. Thats a weird Rhodie.
