    Yes, I've put a repro scope on my No.4 Mk1 T.

    If you did not see my previous post about this rifle, long story short, it belonged to my stepfather when I was a kid. He parted ways with my Mother when I was in my 20's, and for the next 45 years, I never knew what happened to it, but I found it was hidden away by my stepbrother, and now it's in my collection.

    It never had the scope and mount, so I decided to put a repro scope and mount on it. I obtained a "not Chinese" No32 Mk1 scope and mount, and to my amazement, it fit perfectly on the pads, and even more surprising, it was nearly perfectly aligned with the bore. In fact the first shot fired at 100 yards was only a couple inches high and left. Please don't judge me, or accuse me of making a "fake", as this is truly a family heirloom, and will never be for sale, but the brand new scope and mount just didn't look "right" on the gracefully aged rifle. I decided to stamp the ring numbers, and rifle serial number on the mount. I then aged the assembly to match the patina of the rifle. I did, however, etch my initials and date, and the word "replica" on the underside of the mount in a place not visible when on the rifle. And of course the markings on the scope itself are larger than the originals, so it is pretty obvious that it's not original to any collectors anyhow. There are more photos of the rifle in my Photo Gallery, sans scope.
