Sporterized 1917 "Sniper" Auction Score

[rcathey]

Hi all. Bid on this recently for a project I'm in the middle of.
I thought best case scenario this was wearing a Weaver 330 which I'd keep. Then I'd sell the barrel and bolt to cover my $200 expenditure and maybe make a few bucks.

Boy was I surprised! That's a Weaver M73B1 and a very nice Boyt sling dated 1944.

Really makes you wonder how that scope found its way onto a rifle like this!! This isn't some ridiculously rare prototype, is it?
