I saw a sporterized and damaged No.4 T today. In addition to the stock being altered beyond repair the bolt handle has been broken off and a piece of flat metal brazed on in its place. Front sight is there but no "ears" (sorry I don't know the correct term yet). Rifling looks very good viewed without a strong light. I did not see any pitting. It did have the part that the front of a scope mount would attach to in place.

I have no idea what these are worth but considered making an offer for what is essentially a barreled action. I'm a sucker for old military rifles that need a little TLC but have only done US issue so far.

So, a few questions:

1. What would a fair price be as described?
2. Are enough parts available to do a decent restoration?
3. Would the price of said parts be more than the finished rifle would be worth?
4. What does an original No.4 T sell for?

I wish I knew more about these but obviously I don't so any other information would be appreciated. I enjoy a challenge but not "mission impossible"...
