And a really, really late made BSA one at that with a '47 dated PK serial.
As for the rest of it well...........:bash:

It is an interesting one. Maybe if you buy four or five No4 (T) cheek pieces and stack them with really long screws, you *might* be able to get a cheek weld!
In my limited experience, the mount itself doesn't look home made. Looks like something off a machine gun or something like it with the round windage and elevation knobs. It does look like someone got really creative with a stamp set and a hammer! The other thing I noticed is the adjustments are in Mils, so I wouldn't guess the mount came from the US originally.
I'm pretty sure that mount is from an old U.S. night vision rig. I'm still looking though. The rifle is a hot mess, it needs some love. Or a mercy killing. :o
Oh come on you blokes. My mate's brother's cousin was issued this rifle when he was posted as an SAS assassin in Korea ... or Malaya... or Borneo???
One thing I do know was Milrads and 303s didn't mix.
I agree with Atticus, the mercy killing is probably the best option.:surrender:
I'd bin the scope & mount & resuscitate the rifle.....
I think the scope and mount are for surveying
What a mess. It may have been more believable if a 4 year old child hadn’t stamped those spurious makings!!
And the story, wow. Someone should point out that the England marking is an import mark which dispels the bring back story straightaway.
