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.

Where do we find the sunshade for the Lyman Alaskan?

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

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.

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

I have 3425527, yours close to this one?

[Jim Tarleton]

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

Very.

It's 707, 180 apart.

That group was off the bench with 1969 Lake City M2 ball. When our High Power matches start up again later this spring I plan to take it one day and shoot some of my M1 match handloads through it after the match ends.

Jim are you shooting yours with the M73B1 on it? If so you may try a different scope. That thing may be rattling around inside, changing the POI every time you fire it. I'd throw an Alaskan on it and see what it does. My bet is it's the scope if it's an M73B1.
