    As jmoore pointed out, maybe that is why the trigger is not as I thought a "T" trigger should be.
    It shoots as good as I do, and may shoot better than I can if I put a real scope and some good ammo thru it.

    I used your book as the guide for this but as some have pointed out some inconsistencies, if I may make a summary of the discussion,
    would it be fair of me to say that this is a No4 converted into a "T" by H&H, but was never mated with a scope during WW2, and then a replacement cocking piece and a non-issue mount was put on at some point?
    If there is more to inspect or takedown, or more problems please let me know.

    Looks right to me, just like several I has/saw in the mid 90's, ask Brian Dickicon about the number he has handled with out a T on the action body. I would agree that it was likely one of the less scope rifles, never could understand how so many of those made it to US. that K4 60B with the lens covers should sale easy to a Garandicon collector, I searched for years to find a set of those lens covers for my M1D with the 1" mount, finally had to buy a hunting rifle to get the lens covers..
    nice rifle!

    The only markings on the scope mount are the stamped number, and the teardrop shaped mark by the front cradle.
