Synopsis

Collecting the American Sniper Rifle, 1900 to 1945 provides accurate information that will allow the collector to determine whether or not a particular rifle or telescopic part or other accessory is correct and not a fake or misrepresented part sold on the internet.

The book provides a detailed description of . . .

1. the sniper rifle with all parts and markings that make it uniquely a U.S. military sniper rifle.

2. the telescopic sight with all parts and markings that make it uniquely a U.S. military sniper scope.
