USMC sniper? NM? Or?

[vadrums]

Just picked this rifle up today with a barrel date of 12-31 and serial number of 1446308. Bolt is electropenciled to match, polished and so are receiver rails and follower. Type C stock with serial number and D#. Pictures show all markings.... If anybody can help me with loading of pictures or can send them to someone to install here it would be great...

Is the bolt blank or blued? For an USMC sniper it should be blued.

I saw the pics of it on the gunboards forum. I am sorry to say it is not a Marine rifle. The NM rifle traits also look suspect.

For the forum, here are the OPs pics...

Thanks everybody! Looks like I'm trading this back in for other rifles I know more about...

Not a bad rifle to throw a reproduction scope on and go shooting. What was the cost of it? Might be worth keeping.

Was priced like a real marine sniper rifle so back it goes...

I concur with cplstevennorton. The rifle exhibits no characteristics of a USMC rifle and no authentic characteristics of a USMC sniper rifle. The rifle may be a National Match rifle, but not entirely original if so.
