I'll toss another A4 into the hat...

[cruiserdan]

My 1903A4. It was a CMP lottery rifle from the late 1990's. I have both an M73B1 and a Lyman Alaskan for it. I leave the Alaskan on it so that I can take it to the range. I was advised to not fire the rifle with the Weaver on it because of how delicate the Weaver is.

I fire mine and have had zero trouble with the scope other than it sucks as a scope. What SN is yours? 2 groove? It looks nice, and if that isn't a fifty yard target, it certainly shoots well. Now you have me wanting to take mine out to the range again.

That was a 100 yard target. It's a 2 groove 8-43 barrel and the SN is 3425xxx. It is an X-out 3 with the 4 added.

I have 3425527, yours close to this one?

Where do we find the sunshade for the Lyman Alaskan?

That one came on the scope. I think someone is making repros but I don't remember who.

Bill Ricca has reproduction rubber eyeshades for the M81/M82 (basically the Lyman Alaskan) and also the M84.

A sunshade for the objective lens will be more difficult. They were steel I suspect and I am not aware of any reproductions as yet.

Beauriful rifle. More pictures would always be welcome. What SN block is this rifle from? Thanks for sharing.

Mine is 3420224 with a 2-groove, but either it or me cannot shoot like that.
