    The scope is "I really don't know what". It is not a "known repro" by the configuration of the turret block. It is too rough for the know repro's and it is a different shape as well. The turret block is proud between the the plate and the mount. Compare it to a regular scope in a mount. I am wondering if it MIGHT be one of the Italianicon scopes made after the war. It sure is not a Britishicon No.32 and is not a known repro. At least with the offset turrets it is not marked Mk. III then we'd know we have a ringer.
    I do have some pictures of an Italian made No. 32 scope somewhere here so if I can find it I'll post it and then we can continue with this.
    The lock rings do appear to be steel as there is not any brass showing on the worn areas, so my hypothesis on that aspect is blown.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    The photos are all dated 2007. This predates the appearance of SARCO and NUMRICH's recent offerings. Of course, I had to reset the date on my digital camera after draining and recharging the battery a few times.

    The T

    Cannot see the serial No. of the scope on the top of the wrist section butt, no "S" on the Rt side of the receiver on the flat under the bolt head, back swivel may be incorrect as they did a field mod after complaints from snipers about the sling claws hard to get through it.
    Are there any stampings underside of the but I.E "S 51" King screw swivel, the rifles serial number should be on the top of the butt wrist socket that goes into the wrist band, cannot see the HT on the left side wrist band or T stamping left side receiver.

    There should be stamings all over it as there were very few places that did the T's BSA, Canadaicon did a few, Maltby.
    Although it could be an Experimental of which do not quote me on this that there were 1,000 made if proven then it may be a rare bird get Skennetons book the - 303 sniper T an amourers perspective
