He later bought 3 of the Remington repro guns and put Burris 3-9s on them and a brass plate somewhat memorializing himself as CO of the USMCR sniper school. I bought one of his self made commemoratives. Later on he sent me his origjnal SRB. The gun is likely not worth nearly what I paid for it but it's certainly a token of some happy times 50 years ago when I was young. I guess it ought to have a "correct" scope but....
