Can't see enough detail to make an honest call on that one I'm afraid
waco16 wrote "The only saving grace with the scope and bracket on the original listing [that listing was for an ex-Trials No. 4 MK. I converted to a No. 4 MK. I (T) ] was that they weren't originally matched to the rifle (would be criminal if they were!). It was a '42 dated Watson serial 1872 housed in a bracket numbered to rifle AP5783"
So ... who ended up with the bracket and scope for No. 4 MK. I (T) AP5783? I wrote to the seller in La Vista, Nebraska, USA but received no reply. The reason I ask is that I have since purchased 1943 BSA No.4 Mk. I (T) serial number AP5783 and imported it into Canada. It had been sporterized, but the metal was not cut and it had been partly restored using used No. 4 Mk. I furniture. It now been 99% restored back to original configuration using an original No. 4 T butt, an original No. 4 T back sight, an original M1907 sling, I have an original bracket and an original No. 32 MK. I scope on it right now, but of course the matching set would be ideal.
This is one of three matches I have made (on paper) for mismatched No. 4 T scopes and rifles using my database that I have built up. There are over 1,100 entries of rifles, scopes, scope brackets and scope cases.
