Possible candidate for A4 clone
Got this Rem A3 in a horse trade at the local gunshop, the original owner hogged off the rear sight to mount a "LARGE" scope. Which means it's been D&T over the chamber and the bolt handle was replaced, along the way the scope was replaced with the Lyman peep. What I need to do is replace the missing block of steel and dovetail on the bridge, for that I need a source or a junk receiver. Then find someone to TIG it in place. I can buy the correct scope base, rings and glass. Then remove the front sight, I did replace the handguard ring and handguard with NOS parts. The LGS owner kept it in the backroom for a month or more after I first seen it, which surprised me. He got it in a "package deal" of firearms, but felt it was too fugly to honestly put on the Used rack for resale. He just wanted anything for it, to move it out of his shop. I offered him a verrrryy used Ruger Single Six I bought new in 1979.
