I bought a real O3-A4 a few weeks ago complete with scope. I would like to post some pictures of it but, I dont understand how on this forum can some one walk me through the process?? I am very new to the O3-A3 rifles, had a fellow friend help me with the purchase, was pestered to death the rest of the day to sell it. I still own it and plan on keeping it. It was a walk in at a major G.S.
THANKS

that will open a box entitled "manage Attachments" with about 10 lines on it. Each line has the word "Browse" on the right side. Just click on "Browse" and go to the folder where your pics are stored. select the pic you want and upload it to the site. (Note: this technique had some limitations on the number and size of the files.) Its best to use small Jpeg files.
You can still use a photo hosting site like Photobucket and paste the image URLS to your messgae.
Good luck and let us know if you have any questions.

Arsenal rebuild? Parkerized finish matches all components, color, age, etc.
thanks alot for the photo helpQuote:

Jim
Jim the serial number is 3424224, and the other pics I tried to upload said they were too large for the format, so I retired until I can take some more.
thanks alot for all the help, it is still difficult for me to navigate here.Quote:

The "K" in the cutoff notch is the mark of the manufacturer, Keystone.Quote:

There is no evidence that the 330S was used on the A4 although some appear to have been used on optical intruments such as boresighting apparatus associated with firecontrol radars.
Glad the pics worked out. If you scroll to the bottom of the reply page you will find an option to link directly to photobucket. Using photobucket will make posting larger files (pictures) much easier.

M1Cghost: Go to the top of this forum (M1903) and you'll see a "sticky" from Rick the Retired Librarian. He has some useful tips on taking photos, especially about cropping to make your file sizes smaller.
Trying your suggestion Jim G..I'm not sure I've got things fixed with my PC yet!!!Quote:

The serial number is righteous, the barrel is probably original. The scope is commercial, but it's OK until you can find a "correct" one. The rifle appears to be an arsenal rebuild with a more recent New Old Stock Keystone replacement stock. Looks like the scope rings are commercial high polish blue, rather than the rough greenish park USGI rings. Can't figure out what that yellow circle on the right side is.
You don’t need to use the “Quote” button to get all the features you need to post photos, chose next options, etcQuote:

Near the top of the menu in the “Go Advanced” field there’s a yellow button just to the right of center. Click on it and it gives you a little field where you can paste the URL copied from Photobucket or whatever you used on the old Jouster Forum.
In "Advanced" Mode there’s also a button at the bottom to check what your post will look like before you post just like the old site. I use the "Advanced" mode for every reply so I can make sure it looks ok.
***At least your old photo posts don't follow you to the next post you leave like the old software did!:madsmile:
“Advanced” mode is actually not too advanced; it just has a few more functions you can use. I think the word "Advanced" has scared a lot of people from exploring it.
Also -
I use ‘VSO Image Resizer’ to greatly reduce photo size and it’s FREE software that’s very easy to operate. It’s becoming very popular now because it’s so easy to use and works with XP and VISTA.
Free Image Resize Software Import organize resize photos- VSO
After you load the software, go to a photo and right click on it. You’ll get a dropdown and VSO Image Resizer will be an option. Just click on it and it gives you one small screen with drop-downs of what size you want to resize to. I usually choose 1024X768 and even the largest photos are reduced to about 120kb which look good on a computer screen.

What was the walk-in price? It still sounds as if you have a bargain! The undebatedly "correct" M73B1 scopes are not cheap.
