Remington 03 A4 Sniper 03 A3 30-06 WWII rifle : Bolt Action Rifles at GunBroker.com


Description for Item # 388691781


Up for auction is a Remington manufactured Springfield A4 Sniper (03-A3) in 30-06 caliber. This is an exceptional A4 for a serious collector. This A4 Sniper bolt action rifle comes with a Redfield WWII Type One base with 7/8" Type Two rings that hold an M82 Sniper rifle scope. The Flaming Bomb is shown in the pictures and this rifle is a 1943. This appears to be a correct WWII issue A4 Sniper but the pictures tell the story. We have field stripped this rifle and documented each piece and part with detailed photos for your review to determine actual condition and correctness. If you require further photos and/or have questions, contact us through messages and we will be happy to help you. We had a question about the serial stamp. We had local experts look at it, and it is the opinion that it is what is called "rough stamp" and not untypical of old military rifles. Shipping to Continental US for flat rate of $35.00. We accept Visa/Master Card and Discover (add 3% to total). We also accept Money Order and Certified Cashier's Check at no additional charge. We have many transactions and an A+ rating and we intend to keep it that way. Your satisfaction is our goal.

The threaded hole where the rear scope mount dovetail sits looks awfully new and shiney maybe I am just cynical having never been ripped off.................................

Why cannot the bidder be advised of such a rort or does that leave you open to litigation for possible slander surely there are enough qualified people out there to back the call with their trade or is it just to risky to attempt.....just asking guys as it looks as though someone is going for a fall....imagine going to the gun club to show all your mates feeling proud of a possible find just to be told you paid 4 times too much for it and not only is it a faker its a POS..........

We have a saying,, Buyer beware!! After the sale IF the buyer wants to he can go after the seller for fraud but add in Bloodsucker,, I mean lawyer fees, and where do you file fraud charges? His state or yours. Then you have to prove the seller was in fact trying to defraud you as opposed to just not knowing what he had. In all reality the buyer is going to eat the cost and at some point this rifle will be sold to another sucker. As for slander, no it's just not something we pursue in our culture except in very rare circumstances. The seller is a scumbag or a moron either way... Buyer beware!!

I am not a member off Gunbroker but i don't think it's possible for outsiders to communicate directly with bidders. This wasn't always the case and there were reportedly quite a few abuses so bidders email addresses were partly obscured.
