I agree, Brian. In this particular case, there are a multitude of other verifying factors and I for one would overlook the proof's absence and be proud to have it. But yes, I am also very curious why this one made it into circulation without. Great rifle to be sure. Jeff

Awesome rifle, Bruce, I love it. Years back I had a similar HT barreled action missing the mount bases, it was a recycled ar43 reciever as well. Jeff

Looks great, a harder to find scope. Jeff

So it is! The serial number didn't click, wow, I forgot about that one! Very cool, Brian. Jeff

I missed this post, great rifle. Thanks for posting it. I have a soft spot for sporter restorations, that one was done really well. I love the scope. Whoever plugged the holes did a great job. Jeff

Wow, Peter, what a great story! Good job! Nice rifle as well. Jeff

Agreed. X2 on the reading and study requirement for this stuff. I would start off with a LSR, they are easier to authenticate, and not too terribly hard to find. Jeff

I agree on the zinc phosphate. It is much darker than manganese phosphate like we see on the typical rifle finish. I have one as well, #79049 not with a matching can, of course. Beautiful, and I say the can is good, for the record. There has been talk that few of these were mated to rifles...

I agree, great rifle. The King of the High Turrets, I think. Jeff

It sure looks deliberately textured, and I concur on it very likely being period camo. They camo painted and textured lots of field gear, why not sniper rifles occasionally? Great scope, I would be proud to have it in my collection. Jeff

LOL my chuckle for the day. It is pronounced, "Vahlmart". Jeff

Great rifle, and the scope looks great on it. As for DAVE, I think every sniper that has ever crossed paths with me had something to do with him! :thumbsup: Jeff

Well, they are interesting, I'll say that. Zeiss made, I hope someone knows what they are. I do not. Jeff

Trend? I haven't seen enough to notice a trend! Nice scope, Hercules. Or whomever has it now! Jeff

Great as always, Peter. I have to ask, what is your personal favorite Soldbuch from your collection, and why? Maybe it's own thread would be appropriate. Thanks for posting. Jeff

Rough. Good choice of wording. Jeff

The bolt shroud looks like 3344. I think the safety is the only problem. Jeff

Dave, I believe they are not called "WAFFS". The proper terminology is "War Eagles". Get it straight. Jeff

ACH! That's garage sale money! Gotta love it. Jeff

OH MY GOD. Jeff
