Auction Mystery: Is that an M1C Sniper???

[rcathey]

Good morning, all!

Another riveting auction mystery to follow along with. Only this time, it will be less of a reveal and I will require audience participation. I've been in contact with a forum member already that will surely be along to weigh in.

I might have snagged an M1C for a killer deal. I'll let the pictures do some talking before I proceed:

Attachment 97132
Attachment 97133
Attachment 97134
Attachment 97135

There were more pictures but these are the most relevant 4.

Now, I know that the serial number needs to fall between 3.1 and 3.8 to be a possible sniper and that they fall in distinct blocks within that range. The only photo that comes close to showing the serial number obscures it though I do believe it starts with a 3. That's the fun mystery part!

As you can see it's stripped except for the mount. If it's genuine, I figure I paid about $1k less than it's worth. If it's not genuine, I probably overpaid by a couple hundred.

I should be able to pick it up tonight and I can post more pictures thereafter. Once I know the serial number, we'll be able to make a determination on authenticity.

So join in the anticipation with me, fellas!
