5E4s were often standard fitment on the later T4 rifles, as well as (with Mauser adaptor plate) on the 1200TX and M8x series. There are quite a few around, although many are on adaptor plates other than for a No4 action.

There have been a few 5e4 bargains on ebay of late - sub £100 in some cases...
When I bought a 5E4 for my L39 it was from a local gunsmith (since sadly closed down) and he had it off someone with a T4, as Thunderbox says.
Helston Gunsmiths are advertising one for £165.00 plus postage - I purchased one from them last year to complete Enforcer 102. Finished it off nicely.Quote:

I got to look at A65 on Saturday, the only original parts are the Action & Bolt and possibly the rear sight & front nose cap barrel band.Quote:

Rear sight is a repro, and to be honest I never even clocked the barrel band as it was packed back up in the space of minutes and returned as it was sold to me as an original.......Quote:

I was hoping to get some pics up of the one I imported earlier this year but trying to get over a bad cold which landed on me at the weekend, my nose and eyes have just stopped running enough to be able type this up.
