Looks honest to me. The markings on the side of the receiver were put there so they are visible with the scope base installed!

Thanks Brian. The person claimed that the rifle must be a fake because the receiver is marked 03-A3 instead of 03-A4.

It's got some character from honest use too which appeals to me. Nice rifle.

It looks nice and as it should be, however something about the receiver markings is strange. The serial numbers appear to be slightly out of line, aswell the font of the manufacturers marking seem to be ... strange. Compare it with pictures of how it should look like, I'm really not sure whether it's legit or not. Basically nothing looks to be wrong, however nowadays this needs to be checked double time. And if he's really your friend, you should tell him if it's legit or not, if he says the same thing on you aswell he'll then still charge you the same - but none of you will ever have the feeling that someone tried to take advantage of one another.

There's nothing strange about the serial number that I can see. I have 3417342 w/ 7-43 barrel. It looks exactly the same to me.

It appears to be correct to me. What is the asking price?

I appreciate the information. The owner, a good friend, had the price set at $1200.00 thinking that the rifle was not an authentic 03A4. I told him that I thought the rifle was authentic and his price was low. What would be a fair price for an 03A4 in this condition?

This is a deal between friends. He is placing it into good hands. The price is a about right considering all of this.

Actually I am not purchasing the rifle. I am just trying to check on the authenticity and get an idea of the value.
