Hi All, i have owned my No4t for about 25 years and am thinking of selling it. what do i look at to confirm if it is an original or a repro . the rifle is in very good condition and has the S51 mark on the butt.

If you post some high resolution photos of all makings and the total rifle and scope then people will probably give you a pretty good indication.
Deer Hunter,
I am sure there will be some interest at the right price.
If you could put up the numbers on the action showing the S and the Pinned scope side with the serial numbers on the scope and the bracket, wrist and the S51 I am sure that would suffice. Is it a Maltby?
As said, post some detailed photo's, but if you've owned it 25 years, it's most likely real anyway, as 25 years ago there was no real need or demand to repro them, as nice ones could be had for relatively little money!
Different world a quarter of a century later!
If matching numbers, and original scope to rifle match, and with Transit chest and internal items, then it's been a good investment on what you paid for it 25 years ago.
Yes, let us have a few photo's with reference to the body side wall, butt socket, & a view showing the body pads with the scope OFF as well as on. You'll then be up to your neck in useful information!
thanks all for kind help ,i will try and post pics over the next few days .i'm very good at sorting tank engines and other bits of kit but uploading pics is not easy for me . i will seek help . the fore end wood and rifle serial no.are the same . it has the correct box and i have the scout telescope also plus other bits
You can send me the pics and I'll post them here until you have it sorted...check PM for email address.
Matching numbers, transit chest and potentially the rest of the CES, it sounds all rather promising!! If only the two spare .303 slots on my licence where backed by sufficient funds in my bank account... :(
Micheal, maybe have a look at this one - not cheap but may be affordable?
Section 1 Rifles
It's certainly not excessive for these beasts, looks a good buy. I've just sold two; one for a little under 4k & one for a little over.
