Bish bosh - that's a quick turnaround.

Great Thread
I have been following the No.4 Mark1 Trials rifles in threads, books etc. for a while. I note
any details including serial numbers that come up. I addition to the serials numbers in
this thread for those converted to Snipers, some of which are new to me, my list has
others: A507, 1933; A0987; A0356; A2200; A0916; A0783, 1933; & A2245.

A0744 was another.

Well, the description isn't quite accurate. It says all numbers match, but the scope number clearly doesn't match the number on the wrist, which looks from the photos to have been restruck at some point. Scope couldn't be original anyway, as it's a 1945 date. Not that it couldn't have been replaced in service. Nice looking matching Enfield though.

Not the original forend (unless its fitted with a C pattern forend) or front handguard either, trials forends are very distinctive, fatter and straight in front of the trigger guard! Trials handguards also have brass domed rivets in the caps too!

With a bleedin' SMLE mag in it no less!

Looks like it's time for a spreadsheet giving more details, such as serial numbers on brackets and scopes, buttstocks etc.

Pics aren't great for telling for sure but I suspect the butt is probably the only original piece of wood on it.

Surprised nobody has yet commented on the foresight protector!

Having picked it to pieces, it is still a Trials No4 (T) all the same. Like most it has clearly had a checkered career.

My head is throbbing from all this reading tonight. Never a dull moment here.

Thank you gentlemen.
