New A4 Day

[ssgross]

maybe start a new thread?

I did a thread on my build. It's somewhere.

EDIT: looks like that thread was just before the great milsurps.com reset of 2021, and all but the last couple pics are gone, and I can't seem to find my originals. Oh well. I think the rifle is coming up in the queue of my shooting rotation. I'll get some fresh pics then and post.
For now, here she is all done up in her NOS scant.


EDIT2: found some of the before pics...rings were fancy. mount screws had been previously staked, but staking no longer intact when it got to me. Rear of the base is beveled, and marked REDFIELD in the correct spot. I found some original split top rings for it, but have not parkerized it yet - Brownells has been out of Manganese for some time now. I was going to use the scope base and rings as my first lesson. I conserved the bolt, but otherwise left it alone. Bolt looked correct against those I compared it too. The cocking piece had the knob cut off and had to be replaced. I found a NOS barrel, dated within a couple months on the later side of the expected range. If you expand my first pic, you can see some of the U.S. Remington....on the left side. I'll get some closer pics when I get it out again.
Chuck did the parking of the receiver for me...by the way happy retirement Chuck!
