Telescopes M73B1 on ebay

[JGaynor]

Gloca, virtually all M73B1's can be considered correct for the M1903A4. I say virtually all because we know some of them saw military service in other applications such as optical collimators for 20MM Naval machine guns. The other qualification is that in recent years a handful of M73B1's have been sold still in their original Weaver factory packaging. The outer wraps had the names of the quality control inspectors and manufacturing dates in 1945. This was probably six months after the last A4 was shipped from Remington and nearly a year after the last rifles were assembled. I suspect these lat M73B1's entered the spare parts stream. Many were undoubtedly installed on rifles in later years. The few still in factory packaging are the real rare birds.
