Here for a slow day, I am posting a picture of an original, papered, Van Orden Sniper Rifle. Has it’s original scope, a Lyman STS.
Papers show it was bought by the US Army at the 1954 National Matches. Originally US marked, but some dumb, paranoid person ground the US off.
Rifle was a gift from a good friend in Birmingham. He is a retired Sgt, Major U.S.A.
The late Peter Senich said the rifle was probably used as Sniper equipment in Viet Nam and is shown in his book,”One Round War”. Anyway, I thought it would be nice to post a picture on this holiday. Big Larry
