No. 4 "T" - strange conversion, strange scope
Guys,
A friend of mine today showed me his rifle. It is a No. 4 Mk. 1/2 rifle which was obviously converted to T after WWII. However, the conversion is extremely strange, with the rear screw directly in the receiver (without a base) the front base extremely offset to the right.
Additionally the scope which is easily identified as being refinished has a abnormal crosshair. Were there ever reticles like this? The scope anyway seems to be extremely early. Am I'm right it's serialized to a Canadian rifle? And what is the Cross on the scope bracket for?
Thanks in advance!
