	I have an Original M1941 , and that scope would really complement and complete it. BUT, no way I would spend that kind of money on a rifle I paid $45 for in 1960s beltfed/arnie

	I'll be watching this auction just for the fun of seeing where it ends. Not a military collector myself, but I always like seeing what old scopes get at auctions.

	Twenty years ago I had a chance to buy the complete USMC 1941 rifle package along with the data book(9 documented kills) for $3200. A steal I know but no funds at the time. At least I got to hold a true piece of history.

	Fortunately the US does not allow sniper scopes to be shipped across the border to Canada - so I could not bid on it. You guys afraid of terrorist Canadians? You know we are not very accurate shooters. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I was in the Army. I could not bring myself to bid on a scope used by the Marines! Jack

It had 35k miles on it.What did I do.,what an 18 year old does, run it hard and wreak it!! who knew.... I bet that rifle would be 20k now!

	When I dropped out of college after only 1 1/2 quarters, I called the draft board and they said I had 30 days before I would be drafted. I called the other Navy and Air Force and they had long waiting lists. I am sure I would not have made the cut in the Marines. It was Army life for me for 2 years and 8 months. 24 months in Vietnam in an advisory unit running radios in a command center. Jack

Today, a Demon with the mileage yours started out with and still in decent shape could easily bring $20K and very possibly considerably more. Bill Lawrence
