    Optics Leupold ultra M3A **price drop**

    Will birchwood casey gun blue work on aluminum for revealing the serial number?

    Camouflaged 1903

    Original photo was B&W. Supposed to be AEF in France circa WW1. I wonder how they choose colors when they colorize old photos. I can understand known items like a uniform. But, how did they determine what the camo colors would have been?

    M40 Bolt Finish

    60s era rem 700s had polished blued shrouds, bolt handle and bolt nose. Center portion of bolt bodies were usually in the white, polished or jeweled. This wouldn't fly for a sniper rifle, thus matte bluing the entire bolt assembly for the m40

    M40 Bolt Finish

    I've seen both matte blued finish and black oxide referenced. Not sure which is correct. Not sure of the difference between them, or if it's two names for the same process. I've gone with sand blasting with 80 grit garnet and bluing.

    Optics Leupold ultra M3A **price drop**

    Agreed. Truly a fucked up thing some ass wipe did. Either way it would be correct for an M24 as both the M3A and early mk4 with clockwise dials were used. What's an early clockwise mk4 10x go for these days?

    Thinning out the herd. Please review the link below for more information on this scope. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/m24-scope-allegedly-sh-experts-help.7045635/ Bottom line, this appears to be a Leupold and Stevens ultra M3A in the same configuration as used on the early M24...

    M24 scope...allegedly! SH experts help!

    I appreciate the insight Random Guy! My gut feeling is along the same lines...a liberated Ultra M3a, SN removed and painted to obscure their activities. I do not feel this is a Chinese counterfeit. Every aspect of this scope is identical to other M3a scopes with verifiable SN in my collection...

    M24 scope...allegedly! SH experts help!

    Good points from multiple people! Very intrigued by the forensic method proposed by Buffalowinter. Would this method only work for revealing stamped information or would it also disclose laser/chemically etched serial numbers?
