A4 on GB. Thoughts?

[Wizard]

Stocks looks nice, maybe too nice. Cartouches deep, crisp. Looks all correct as far as parts, but scope give me pause. This is the 11000+ A4 made and according to the books, the 330 scope with Mil spec designation electro-penciled on the side were on guns from about 5000-10000. Possible?

Looks nice. But they need to get a photo of the bolt cutout, the inscribed Weaver and is it a Redfield base. The case is a CMP but I do not see where it was sold by the CMP, so it is just a case. If the stock is truly an A4 and the Weaver 330 is correct, then that is not a bad price.

I asked the seller to send me photos of that a week ago. Cutouts look correct. The scope looks good, but the electro-pencil thing is always concerning. (I will try to post those shots later) Three things that give me pause: 1. Even if the scope is bonified, being it's a 330, it's late for this A-block gun. According to the books, that ended around the ten-thousandth gun. This is over eleven thousand. 2. The DEEP clean hits on the cartouches. 3. The barrel is a very light park and the roll marks possibly betray a re-park job.

Here's some of the more detailed photos.

Everything looks "too good", for me. My opinion.

Yes Sir, especially when it comes time to resell.

Then it may appear here for verification before sale...we've seen it before. A hard lesson to find out you have a nice shooter only. Hope it at least does that.
