Dang, oldhound! It's your thread (linked in post #18) that had the discussion on the No.4 magazine cutoffs . So now you're involved in this thread on two areas of interest. Any progress on posting photos?Quote:

I will strip the gun later and try and get some pictures posted if it can't be found.
the T is different than yours. It is about 1/8 th of an inch. The rifle belonged to an uncle who worked as a quartermaster during the war. He told my father that it had been set aside as a sniper. Thats all I know.

This is the identical T and in the same place as mine, and I'm damn sure that I have'nt got a No.4 T of any variety.
It appears a "T" stamp found on the underside of a receiver is fairly common, Ray
would your rifle be a longbranch?Quote:
