    Regular No4(T) or ex-trials rifle?

    Ding Ding Ding, you both win a prize.

    I've had some experience restoring US and Germanicon sniper stuff, but the idea of this one seems hopeless. After talking with a few poential sources, I think it best to pass.

    Such a pity that Enfield marked front pad has been removed and worse still is missing - it is otherwise very nice example of an early trials (T)
    Complete with original Enfield marked rearsight as well.
    I'm after one of those is anyone has one that's looking for a good home.......

    I'd trade a Trials rifle pad for a Savage pad....

    If anyone has an Enfield trials rear sight, or a trials magazine, or indeed a scope bracket that would be at home on a '33 dated trials (T) I have one of those valuable L42 brush bottles I would happily trade

    If you can find the owner of this rifle you'll have found what you need: notice the inspection stamp? The rifle it is/was on is a Long Branch by the way. The photo was on this forum or another a few years back.

    Final price on the Trials 4T on Auction Arms was $1520. I hope the seller can get it properly restored.

    I was tempted to Go after it but all I really wanted was the wasp waisted front sight protector for my Trials 4T. Anybody know where one might go to find one?

    Try contacting Simon at Lawrance Ordnance, in Sydney.

    Simon had a few DP No4 T receivers tucked away. Whilst the receivers may be not fit for service the pads should still be good.
