Okay, you guys talked me into it! I recently upgraded my collection with the addition of this beauty.



It is an original 03A4 receiver made in 7-43 with barrel in 6-43.





I'm no expert but it seems to have had a front sight on it at some time? Maybe it came (CMPicon?) sans scope and someone put front sight on to shoot it? Doesn't dampen my enthusiasm for it one bit.

Scope is an early one with the wire crosshairs and electro-penciled "M73B1" & serial number on the right side, in great condition.



With the help of a kind and patient range master I've got it sighted in pretty well. I don't plan on shooting it much but I just had to get sighted in!

Sorry, I just realized that I don't have a photo of the stock markings. Left wrist has crossed cannons, "RA", and "FJA". Pistol grip has "P" and there is at least one very faint(spl?) mark forward of trigger guard on bottom of stock.
