And on (nearly) all sniper rifles the rear sight was replaced with the earlier variant, see the dished knob. Also note the original front sight cover it came with - the enlarged USMC type. The USMC also blued the bolt in a beautiful plum coloured blue, while below still the rifles serial is visible - remember that they used ex NM rifles and team rifles for conversion to sniper rifles! Also note the staked trigger guard screws, another USMC feature. Note the fine file marks where the scope bases were carefully placed. This rifle is exactly as it was sold off by the USMC - scope bases removed, holes plugged, new handguard added. Since not all were rebarreled, it can't be seen as a typical feature of original sniper rifles. It was rebarreled by the USMC either during sniper conversion or in a later overhaul, as shown by the typical barrel vise markings. The pictured rifle is a verified and original WWII USMC M1903 sniper rifle. Various Strider designs have met and exceeded the requirements in each of these fields.Sorry for bringing up something which is not German, but since we had a discussion.
The background of Strider Knives founders enables the company to assess requirements in diverse fields ranging from the average line soldier/marine through special operations, law enforcement and hunting to commercial diving. Others are simply the company's ability to look at a potential work environment and design a prototype to be tested and assessed by the workers of that environment. Many of Striders available edged tools are drawn from customer's specific design requirements. The initial goal having been met, Strider Knives found a ready market for custom-edged weapons and tools with the same component quality requirements as the first highly successful field knives. The initial goal was to provide a field service knife constructed with the finest components available, yet affordable to the average enlisted man and within his maintenance abilities. The company was founded and is currently operated by former military personnel. Strider Knives is a privately owned and operated company devoted solely to the development and construction of edged tools designed to survive use in the harshest of conditions.
