Definitely a training rifle. These were pretty nice well-built guns with nice adjustable sights. And also not something you see all the time. Not sure on production numbers but you will usually see them priced $600-800. Depending on condition.
some times when sent back in for repair or warranty work. They’d put a second stamp. Sometimes also they’d stamp a month and year stamp. Does this rifle have a serial number?

I’ve got a 591. It’s very comparable to a 17. As far as range and drop go. But as far as pounds on impact the 5 mm is leaps and bounds ahead of the 17. Shooting a piece of steel the 17 just leaves a lead mark where the 5 mm leaves a quarter inch indentation.
