Think that is a scoped 1903. Scope is to far forward for an A4

No rear sight and no scope base

And not very well I might add. No cheek weld so I doubt he would have produced very much accuracy even with that highly accurate 03.

I've seen this picture debated several times. Everyone agrees it is a M1903 (not 03A3). Seems to be a Weaver 330 or M73B1. Lots of guesses about the rings and mounts. Not a standard configuration.
