My A4

[daveboy]

I finally relearned how to post photos to this board. I posted one last night, as a test, and had a request to post more. This is my A4 that I have owned about three years now. I bought it from a kid who said it was his grandpa's. He said that his grandpa got it "from the Army" back in the sixties. It was complete, except for the scope, and I know the DCM sold them that way then, so that made sense. Kid said that as far as he remembered, it had only been shot twice since purchase, and he had a box of commercial .30-06 in the case with it....with two rounds missing. Stands to reason that no one would shoot it more than that, because without the scope, there was no way to aim it. I kinda hated taking an heirloom from the kid, and even told him that he should hang onto it because it would only be worth more in the future. But, for some reason, he wanted to turn it into cash. The stock, although functional, was much rougher than the barrrell and receiver, and also was sporting an arsenal-repaired split. I placed it in a new, CMP stock, which matched its finish much better. I also found a Weaver 33 scope (although, the civilian version with the post reticle, and screw adjustments). I love this rifle.
