An M73B1 is born

This came with an 04A4 that I just bought and I thought some people may enjoy it. It is beautiful, the blackish blue is incredible. I think this is one of the nicest M73b1's that I have ever seen. Gonna need to put a different scope on the new A4......
And no I did not open it, it was already opened by the previous owner! The top of the box was not available. Can anyone tell me if the scope covers are original, they feel like they were tanned yesterday, maybe they were :) The rifle looks like it passed
through Benicia Arsenal at one time. I will post pictures and rifle data in the near future. Thanks. shortly.

A Scope Is Born!!!

Very nice. I would mount it in an instant. Why keep something so nice in a box?

Nice. Does the scope have the cross hairs or post? I need to add this to my data base.

Sweet scope. I'd put it on a rifle.

Hey 218bee, sounds like a great offer but I am slinging that Green one on top of a rifle. I spent 5 years trying to track one down!! I do know of one for sale though but the guy wants $3k for it. I am not positive he still has it as he took it to Tulsa for the shoe there. Here are a couple of pictures of the one for sale.
