Description:
HERE A INTERESTING PIECE I PURCHASED YEARS AGO AT THE BIG TULSA SHOW WALKING AROUND. AFTER I PURCASED IT A OLDER GENTLEMAN WALKED UP TO ME AND ASKED TO SEE IT. I TOLD HIM IT WASN'T FOR SALE. HE INSISTED ON SEEING IT ,SO I HANDED IT TO HIM. TURNED OUT HE WORKED AT THE ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL AS A LITTLE BOY. AS DID HIS FATHER AND GRANFATHER. HE REMEMBERED CAPT. WALKER AND THE BARREL ON THE GUN. HE TOLD ME AFTER WW2 THAT THEY WHERE PUSHING TO CHANGE THE BARRELS ON OUR RIFLES TO THE ROUNDED AND HEAVIER BARREL THATS ON THIS RIFLE. SO THIS GUY WORKED ON THESE BARRELS MADE THEM. SO HE GAVE ME THE WHOLE STORY ON THESE BARRELS.THAT THEY WHERE TRYING TO BE SOLD TO THE U.S. MILITARY . CLAIMING THAT THEY WHERE MORE DURABLE MORE ACCURATE , ETC. BUT THE MILITARY DID NOT BUY IT. SO THESE BARRELS WHERE LAYING AROUND THE R.I.A. FACTORY. GUYS THAT WORKED THERE MADE LUNCH BOX GUNS FOR THEMSELVES AND FRIENDS. THIS GUN WAS BUILT FOR CAPT. WALKER. USING A REMINGTON O3-A3 BACK HALF . CUSTOM ORE MOUNT SET-UP. VERY CLEVER SETUP. AND THE BARREL IS A ROUNDED HEAVY BARREL 24" . 30-06 CAL. I HAVE CAPT. WALKER PASSPORT SHOWING HIM GOING IN AND OUT OF VIETNAM DURING EARLY 70'S. THE PARTS ARE ALL R.I.A. MARKED . AND ALL PARTS HAVE CAPT. WALKERS ID NUMBER AND NAME ON SOME PARTS. THE STORY I GOT FROM SELLER ALLEN WALKER WAS THAT IT BELONGED TO HIS GRANDFATHER CAPT M. WALKER. THAT HIS GRANDFATHER WAS A STATIONED IN WASHINGTON D.C. AND ILLION. DURING HIS DUTY . HE WAS A BODY GAURD FOR A HIGH RANKING GENERAL DURING THE EARLY 70'S . HE ESCORTED THE GENERAL BACK AND FORTH TO VIETNAM. THEY SPENT MOST OF THE TIME ON A BOAT . THIS GUN WOULD DROP INTO THE BOATS ORE HOLES AND SPIN 360 DEGREES. MAKES A GREAT SNIPER RIFLE , VERY HEAVY AND VERY STURDY. ALL WE HAVE IS HEAR SAY. I BOUGHT THIS WALKING AROUND AT THE TULSA SHOW . I WAS SO INTRIGEUD BY THE RIFLE I DIDNOT GET ANY INFO FROM SELLER .AFTER SPEAKING TO THE GENTLEMAN THAT WORKED AT R.I.A. I STARTED LOOKING FOR HIM BUT COULD NEVER FIND HIM. SO NO OTHER HISTORY AVAILABLE. JUST THE PASSPORT AND ID' ON RIFLE. GREAT LOOKING PIECE. AND IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. PLEASE REVIEW MY PHOTOS AND PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS ? BUYER PAYS SHIPPNG . 3 DAY INSPECTION AS ALLWAYS.
