Description
10/15/21 – This is an awesome No.4 Mk I (T) sniper rifle rig. These rifles were the standard British sniper rifles developed in the late 1930s and used until the early 1960s. The receiver side wall is marked “No. 4 Mk I T”, and the butt socket is marked “M47C/1944/B35314/TR”. The rifle is matching numbers throughout, and was originally telescope ready as it has the serial of the original scope on the wrist.The scope mount and can that are included here do not match the serial of the rifle, and are mismatched from each other.This original No. 32 MKIII scope is marked by maker with serial and broad arrow proof.It is fitted with its original, correct wartime smooth semi-pistol grip stock with the standard proof marks, matching serial number on the forestock and correctly stamped “S51” on behind the pistol grip area. The buttstock is fitted with a wartime pot metal buttplate with butt trap compartment and the correct screw-on cheekpiece.The scope tin is especially rare and seldom seen, as most feature the canvas case.Comes with a period unmarked sling.Comes with breech cover, complete with an originalWWII issue Chest S.A. No.15.Mk.1, green wooden storage/shipping container. Metal finish shows some thinning, and there’s a little surface rust/oxidation on the bolt that could probably be cleaned up or at least improved.
