Alright, I joined the O3A4 club!

Picked up this 03A4 from AA, and I'm pretty excited about it but I figure I better show some restraint until the experts weigh in.
It's a 3.421 mil serial, came with scope covers and a sling marked MILSCO 1944. Overall doesn't look used much, but the sling doesn't look used at all. The sling actually looks too new, how can I tell if it's a repro? The barrel is dated 8-43, muzzle wear measures about 0.8. The trap on the buttplate is a little bent, it won't quite close all the way but I forgot to include a pic of that.

Welcome to the 03A4 club. Now you need to start loking for another one.

Beautiful rifle. I hope one day to at least own a nice copy. Now take your rifle to the range and find out how it shoots! Sincerely. BruceV.

I was ahead of you about 5 months. One just has to have an A4. Now you need a WWI A5 sniper to sit next to it.

Nice aquisition Z. As far as the sling is concerned..well leather just doesn't last forever...I wouldn't be terribly concerned.

Hi, lucky guy you got one. I hope my dealer brings one back from his journey.

Thanks guys. I dunno bout another one or an A5 anytime soon, unless they just fall in my lap. And yeah while I am curious about the sling now, it was the last thing on my mind regarding this purchase, the rifle is what I was interested in.

Excellent rifle, nice find!
