    No4 (T) 1944 M47C Serial H38302 - Missing Scope 2021

    Finally after 8 months wait, my newly acquired No4 (T) has finally arrived at my local Dealer. Exporting from the US to Australiaicon can be a slow process.

    It is a 1944 BSA, serial H38302 that is missing its scope. Original scope was a Mk3 serial 20211.

    Inital examination with a bore scope shows a perfect shiny bore. Headspace is spot on.
    Timberwork is all matching. Still has the serial number pencilled inside the handguards. Apart from traces of copper in the bore, the rifle shows very little signs of use.

    Attached are a few initial pics supplied by the seller. Better pics to come once I get Police approval to pick it up from my local Dealer.

    Once I get it home it will be mated to my Vickers No 32 Mk2/1 scope.

    Paul

    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.

    Additional Pics

    More pics

    And I suppose that I am now officially looking for scope 20211. Have checked the Milsurps database but cannot find any reference to 20211.

    Cheers
