BCD 4 Long Side Rail Sniper 98073

[Gman06]

I finally had some time to take some pictures of this beauty. Huge shoutout to Dave Roberts and Bruce for helping me complete this sniper. Some of you may have seen my post before where I stumbled across this BCD 4 closet find. It had some air rust but the rifle itself was matching. Upon Daves recommendation it was shipped to Bruce who cleaned the air rust off of it and made the phosphate finish look great. The stock was not touched or cleaned at all. Dave helped me find an original LSR base then was able to locate scope mount 99318 with a bek 4x mounted to it. I know the mount is a mismatch but I think it’s really cool to have found one just over one thousand numbers off. I’ve tried to include pictures of everything if I missed anything just let me know and I will add them.

Waa77 bayonet lug? I'm not sure that's proper, but man the rest of the rifle is fantastic, great work!

My understanding is that by that point in the war excess WaA77 parts were being sent to manufactures that needed them
