Thoughts on this one?

[TDP0311]

Figured I'd share this with the experts on here: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=421020727

It appears to be a NM 03 that was modified for scope use but not by the USMC IMHO.

Star gauge mark looks phoney and the hand guard cut is not like the USMC made examples. Also, I don't think I have seen one with the Lyman 48 mounted ( on a so called "M1941 that is ).

[John Beard]

Except for being a National Match rifle with perhaps a replacement barrel, I see no evidence of USMC issuance.

Hope this helps.

If it was made for the Unertl scope, the placement of the rear scope block is wrong.

BTW, this is the SRS entry for this rifle: 1526196A1NM 052440DCM RIFLE SALES 1922-42

[Marine A5 Sniper Rifle]

Not scoped by the Corps. The turtle appears to be applied with multiple blows from a chisel.
