Here is a pic of my 1918 BSA. Any reason why it would have a "T" but not be tapped?

The T designation meaninf Telescope was on the Rifle No.4, which wa sthe WW2 version of the Lee Enfield. This T is nothing to do with a Telescope or Sniper rifle I wouldn't think. As to what it IS to do with, the experts here will be able to say more.
The T marked on the rifle close to the rifle designation was '.......indicative of its telescope status'. That's why the letter T is marked on the wrist of the early sniper ex-Trials rifles and on the body side of the production sniper rifles
On Number 4 rifles of course, but a T marking on the barrel on a No.1?
Appears to be Canadian ownership as well, betcha Brian will know.
Brian (or anyone else), can you enlighten us? I have no idea what the 'T' represents, save for the fact that I think it is highly unlikely to have anything to do with sniping........

My last name is Taylor, I will just assume its monogrammed and was intended to be mine some day.
Yeah, let's call it destiny!

In that case, I am going to change my name to No.4 (T) Enforcer L42A1. It is worth a shot.Quote:

I was wondering about the C Broad Arrow on the flat of the Nock's Form. Is it the same stamp as on the receiver ring? Look closely with a glass and see if the stamping is exactly the same.
There was more than one C Broad Arrow stamp floating around loose. The "T" stamp might be some clever fellow's attempt to gild the lilly, after giving it a new identity that is.
I will have to look when I get home. It is in a couple of places though. From the stamps it would have been made by BSA for Canada. The original stock cracked in a couple of places, and I would like to get some newer furniture for it, but I kinda like it being ugly, esp as well as it shoots
