    No 4 Mk 1 T Trials rilfe

    Hello All,

    Just got this beauty this week. It is in excellent condition. The previous owner really took very good care of this rifle. It has all the EFD markings all over the rifle. Went through it with a fine tooth comb and compared it to the trials sniper in the Milsurps Knowledge Libraryicon.

    It came with a REL No 32 Mk 1A scope which in itself is very rare. Now all I have to do is find the scope that is matched to my trials rifle and also the Long Branch sniper (71L0322) that is matched to my No 32 Mk 1A scope. LOL.

    I would like to thank Roger Payneicon, Peter Laidlericon and Andy Carroll for their expertise in helping to authenticate this acquisition. If it wasn't for their input, I would not have pulled the trigger on this buy.

    These gentlemen were truly very gracious. My hat's off to these three very knowledgable forum members.

    The pics were taken by the seller. I have not had time to take my own pics.

    All the best.

    Not a thing wrong with that package. (unless you get all tear-y over the magazine) The striker assembly with the cross screw is especially cool. Let us know if the rear sight retains the early four clicks per rotation. It looks like still does, but it's hard to tell. The ball detent is still there and the sight is Enfield, so that makes it even more likely.

    I had to get one of my youngest daughter's bibs when looking through those photos - very drool-worthy.

    Thanks jmoore. In my conversations with Roger, he said that most trials rifles he has seen did not have the correct magazine. The rifle in the Milsurps Knowledge Libraryicon also does not have the correct magazine. I sure would like to see a pic of a correct magazine.

    Roger said I got a bargain on this purchase. I'm not that sure now, because I have an itch to look for the matching scope to the trials rifle and the correct rifle to the REL scope. It could turn out to be a very costly endeavor. LOL.

    All the best

    I think Badger's got a photo or two of an Enfield mfg'd mag. somewhere. My rifle has a non-Enfield mag as well. They're probably lurking in Bubba's closet as spares, what few are left.

    ETA: Nope. My bad. I thought there was a magazine photo somewhere. Never mind...

    Yes Roger, I've been STUNG.

    Anyone out there with scope no 13534 or Long Branch no 71L0322 please let me know. Maybe we can make a deal.

    All the best,

    You are looking for scope 3534, the extra "1" I think is just a alignment bruise as my Trials No. 4 has it also. Love you new sniper wish I had found it first!!

    Hi Lance,

    So the scope I'm looking for is 3534 and not 13534. Does your trials rilfle have scope no 1136 matched to it or are you also looking for scope 1136.

    All the best.
