Fake A4 project
Nearing the end of my fake A4 project so I thought I'd share. I started with a lightly sporterized Rem A3 that had been d&T'd for weaver mounts. It came with a pre-war C stock that has seen lots of miles and had already been modified for bolt clearance. Rem 4-43 4 groove barrel measures 1.5 at the muzzle and just under 2 at the throat. Due to the stock, I decided to go for the "been there, done that" look. Trickiest part of the build was to chage the front hole in the reproduction Redfield Jr. mount (Gibbs), to a slot so that I could use the existing hole in the receiver.
I have about 40 rounds through it now and everything is nice and solid. My expectations were for 1.5 MOA when I started the project. Three 5 round groups gave 1.875", 2.03", and 2.125" groups from 200yds (bench), better than expected. Does that sound consistent with what other folks are getting for groups?
