    From the rebuilt rifle perspective the only items out of place on your rifle given its history would be the scope rings and the windage screws. The windage screws are commercial (blued) they should be color case hardened (original) or parkerized (rebuild). The rings look like reproduction or have been parkerized by someone other than military and the screws in them would also have been color case hardened. Very minor details though, nice rifle.

    Most of the 03-A4's out there came through the NRA/DCM, and were sold without scope or rings. Everyone had to scrounge around to find a scope and hard to find one with all original scope and rings.

    The stock is an original 03-A4 stock, and went through rebuild also where it was refinished. The original acceptance mark of Col. Frank J. Atwood can still be seen, but has the later RIA rebuild mark of Ed Bjerke.

    It appears the scope has been slide forward to where it is touching the scope base. If it is touching the base it should be moved back slightly.

    Beside finding the rifle being a nice one, i think the serial number is interesting. The serial number has the following numbers but in a different sequence. 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8.
    Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
