Newly aquired 03-a4 reald deal, need help

[M1Cghost]

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

when you recieve this reply lick on the word "quote" at the bottom of the box.
That will openn a screen with a copy of this message and a toolbar at the top. One of the buttons looks like a paper clip (attach) - click on it.
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.

Regards,

Jim

I will try to desribe it best as possible. All parts are coded Remington on the rifle itself, everything is parked except scope and buttplate. Stock is C config. with no arsenal marks or proofs, only a "K" code in safety relief. Scope is post rectile 330, which, may be contoversial?? for the gun, barrel is dated 9-43. What do I have? Arsenal rebuild? Parkerized finish matches all components, color, age, etc.

thanks alot for the photo help

The parkerized finish on the bolt and most of the small parts and the small bow guard leads me to believe the rifle was rebuilt. The barrel appears to be the correct date for that s/n range and is probably original. The stock may have been changed at the rebuild or subsequently. Usually a depot or arsenal marked the stock. The "K" in the cutoff notch is the mark of the manufacturer, Keystone.

Weaver made the 330 in a number of variations. The principal variations had to do with the W&E adjustment knobs. The 330C, later militarized as the M73B1 had knurled knobs with click stops. The 330S (silent) which is what you have got used a screwdriver adjustment. 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.
