My RAF 4T (you know it well - apparently, many years ago, you used to shoot at the club with its previous owner) appears to have the standard KEC telescope.

If there are only 2 known examples you would not be able to replace it for $5000, or $10,000 or ..................

So what is the 'value' ?

Iv'e seen a few CC prefix BSA No5 and heard of just one DD prefix, but, who knows if BSA had two production lines running concurrently.

BK 5373 is certainly a 'lateish' 1947 rifle.

At somewhat of a tangent the 'chamber adapters' seemed to be all the vogue at one time.

Does it have a "JJ & co" (or J Jovino) import mark on it ?

Maybe you overtightened the 'long' screw going thru the original rear sight mouting ears - this can tilt the 5C and will certainly pinch the sides of the body together, which can trap the bolt and...

At 100 yards you will get approximately 2" reduction (lowering) in POI for every 0.015" increase in height of the front sight.

That is at odds with what I found, but I guess over 50 years memories dim and confusion can set in.

Could it be an Australian manufactured rifle was was actually in service "elsewhere" ?
