Canadian Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk I (T)

Yes, a fake. Even a cursory glance shows the front pad screws are incorrect

Thank you Roger.

There are a number of known Savage "less telescope" rifles that popped up in the last 15 years.

Thanks for the clarification. I agree entirely. They didn't occur to me off the top of my head perhaps because although of US manufacture they were set up over here at H&H along with all of the BSA's......

Yes, that's so. What is interesting to me is that of these Savage Less Telescoped T's that showed up, many, many, of them were in the No. 15 crate.

Interesting. I have a scoped up Mk1 Savage T, & one scoped & one less scope Mk1* rifle. Unfortunately my less scope rifle came on its own. A correct (suitably stencilled) chest would be the icing on the cake!

Like tits on a bull as the saying goes. (I guess that was "teats" originally!)
