Sniper Rifles

[JRice79]

I like those. Almost picked one up in the box when they were reasonably priced. Prices have definitely gone up.

Thank you. I have a M40 but it's very hard to find the M1A and M40A1. I've seen the Remington M24 program and asked a friend at the NRA if he can help me buy an all original setup. No joy so far.

Wonderful collection! May I ask if the Lyman 5A is also on the Mann-Neidner bases? And what serial ranges are the M1903 sniper rifles in?

Negative. I believe they're Unertl mounts. Serial number is 1.49 million range with 3-37 star gauged barrel and watery blued bolt. USMC Unertl also fits but I decided to keep the scope that came with it on.

Thank you for the information! What serial ranges are the one with the Winchester A5 offset scope and the one with the Winchester A5 with the Mann-Neidner modified rings in?

Impressive. Thanks for sharing. You should be very proud.

Thank you. What is really interesting, the second rifle is right in the block of rifles which are SRS associated with WRA in 1919.

If you have time, please post detail pictures of the rifles individually! Would highly appreciate that!

Fantastic collection. The Loft had a M24

Have you considered adding a Model 720?

Thank you. I'll have to call the Loft. Any idea on the price?

Very interested in learning more about the M720; optics, etc. never heard of it until now. Thank you for sharing that link. Any idea where I can find one

[Shooter5]

The 720 is a rare bird, only have seen 2 at gun shows in last 15 years (and kicked myself for not getting either one!) and one online few years back. I dont know much about them nor any optics, nor do I know if any were employed in combat.
The M24 at the loft was $3600. I dont know if its new production or one of US Army so-called "surplus" models. I assum you are aware of that saga?

Georg you can pretty much write off all those WRA Inpsected rifles from the SRS. I know there was speculation that they might have some association with Marine A5 rifles. But after reading them, they were just regular Winchester ammo testing with rifles provided by Ordanance. So I would honestly just ignore them.

It isn't likely that anyone is going to "write off" a block of rifles that include every known authenticate Marine A5 rifles SN identified to date. Exactly why did WRA need such a huge number of rifles to test ammo? Ammo testing is normally done with pressure guns, rail guns, or something equivalent to same. The idea when testing ammo is to 1. Prove the ammo is safe (pressure) to fire in typical rifles, and 2. Take the human element out of the accuracy test. An ammo company testing ammo by letting old Joe Blow blaze away at some target with a 1903 he got from SA just sounds silly. WRA had more rifles in that block than they had employees. I do not claim to know why they had so many 03's in such a tight block, but I would wager it wasn't for testing ammo.

Wow, these are nice. You either have a very understanding wife or no wife.

And a good job.
