Hello Guys didn't see a new members section so this will be my first post we got some guns in the shop today from a collect and wanted to find out value and if they are real. A lee Enfield which we think might be the sniper model and a Smith corona which I will post in that section. I was directed here by a few people on a local form

Hello blacktalon...

... and welcome to the site ... :thup:

Check the 130 picture virtual tour of the 1944 Enfield No.4 Mk1(T) Sniper Rifle (Mfg by BSA Shirley - M47c) displayed in the United Kingdom - Milsurp Knowledge Library.

Compare all the markings on the No.4(T) you're looking at against it. ;)

Hope that helps ... :thup:

Regards,
Doug

Value depends considerably on 'completeness', condition and originality of parts - these are probably the most 'faked' enfields there are.

It certainly looks like a Kosher No4T

Value varies country by country and even state by state (in the US)

Does it come with the carry chest and the 'kit' or is it just the rifle ?

UK value : My guess for 'your rifle' if it is rifle and scope only would be $3000, whilst if you have the CES (Complete Equipment Schedule) and transit case you'd be looking at around $6500+

Factors to consider are the heavily sanded butt and cheekrest, very heavily sanded, and the odd flat head screws used on the front pad.

I see what looks like a renumbered bracket with the old number totally over-struck; interesting in reference to the recent thread on the 1933 trials rifle and the discussion there about bracket re-numbering.

I don't remember seeing a blob of weld on the charger bridge on a No4(T) before, but who knows!?

Welding of a loose bridge charger guide was a common repair Rob. Done loads of them!

thanks for the info guys and it came to us as just the rifle sadly. Very cool kits by the way

from all I have looked at I still cant say if it is a true Sniper rifle or not

My guess would be that it's a real No.4T that's been worked on during and post service.

Ok cuz we have a few interested customers it would be on the lower end of the spectrum correct?

I'd have to inspect it inside and out with correct gauges to make a determination. Condition is everything in the eyes of most buyers in my experience.

Like Brian says, so far, this rig looks genuine - but then we haven't seen all the correct pictures to be sure, in particular we haven't seen teh scope - and I am not sure about that cheek-piece for a start...
If genuine, then the value is all down to the condition of the rifle and its bore, as well as checking exactly how much it is as-issued, and how much has been messed-about-with in civilian life.
Alan's estimate of $3000 seems a reasonable guess in the USA, would be a bit higher in the UK - if all correct.

thanks again guys what pictures of the scoop do you want? any others?
