My recovered DP A3..

[Chuckindenver]

so i dont highjack anymore of the other post.
this is from a group of 10 A3 barreled receivers i picked up via CMP at 10.00 each.
all but one were saved and recovered.
dont know why i chose this receiver to keep, just luck of the draw i guess.
the 4-43 , 4 groove barrel is a take off of a customers rifle, that ask it be disposed of, it has some rust at the muzzle, and he didnt trust it.
the stock is a gunshow buy, picked it up with NAT Ord. stuffed in it, for 200.00
parted the N O and used the rest for this project.
rifle shoots 1/2 groups at 100 yards, so id say the muzzle wasnt an issue.
iv persoanlly shot well over 500 rounds of Ball through it with no ill effects.
when i looked close at this barreled receiver, it was as new, if not unissued when converted to DP, and likely not ever used for drill.
front sight blade was still installed with no damage.
likely the stock ect, was robbed for another DP rifle at one time.
all the ones from this group came from the Ca, ROTC. and had tages statting such.
i have less then 250.00 cash money tied up in this, and it shoots better then any non DP A3 iv owned.
and the only A3 i keep in my collection.
