I acquired an 03A4 from a friend a few years ago. The gun is a mix up of parts and amateur restorations.

I'm slowly piecing it back together, and after finding a decent original scant stock this summer, I'm ready to start pushing this thing to completion.

The barrel, bolt, sight base and receiver were all good though. It is a 4.99m with a 1/44 RA barrel.

The mount is parkerized with the small "REDFIELD" mark at the back right of the mount.

Now the bad...

The two sight base mounting screws were a mangled mess. What do I need to buy to mount the base to the rifle? I don't want to use the same ones, they are badly stripped and I am afraid they could never be securely fastened again.

Also, an owner a couple back from me, removed and threw away the one shim under the front of the base, as he thought it was a "bubba thing." I know...just a little info and it could have been avoided.

I know there were different thicknesses of shims, but what could I use?

If anyone knows the size screw I need to purchase, or where I might buy a shim, please let me know.

Thanks,

-Patrick
