Please do! I would really like to get this project going again...it is on hold until I get the screws and the nerve!
What type did you get?

Take a look at this site -

Lawrance Ordnance - British No.32 Mk.I Scope (4402)

[Maple_Leaf_Eh]

A no-gunsmithing base (S&K or BSquared), low rings, a Weaver Alaskan scope, a repro' cheekpiece on a replacement buttstock will replicate the functionality of a No.4(T) without permanently changing a single thing.

I at first used the screws provided by the fellow who reproduced the cheek piece but Lee Valley has brass ones very similar to the ones provided with the cheek piece and think they look better. I tried to email you the instructions on how to install the cheek piece earlier as requested, but for some reason it was returned by hotmail.
If my memory serves me correctly I think I actually found those instructions somewhere on this sight a while back but can't be sure. I will try and send you the attachment again later.
If anyone else wants a walnut cheek piece for an enfield, PM me and I can hook you up with the maker.

Financially I have to disagee - you can pick up a complete. original 4T with all acessories (spotting scope, scope adjusters, bren parts tin, sling, scope tin. scope etc) and a transit case for around £3000/£3500.

I can't agree with those prices Alan. They have been MUCH more this year and with a miss-matched Rifle/Scope to boot. The No8 tins alone are now a a silly level.

I'd like to think so and you are probably much closer to the market than I am.
I've had my eye on an L42 so if anyone wants this 4T at £4000 its up for sale :

RAF issue with mismatched Mk1 scope, overhauled at Catterick Base Workshops September 1968 (possibly one of the last 4T's in service ?)
Inspected by Peter Laidler a few years ago and 'certified' authentic.

Can someone tell me if these pads look accurate for a No32 scope mount?
Pads 4 Lee Enfield British 303 No 4 Sniper Scope Mount - eBay (item 150472088077 end time Aug-24-10 14:10:53 PDT)

As I previously stated, I an trying to mount a scope on my No4 and would like to at least make it 'eye pleasing' and 'original' vice using the 'newer' mounts....
Enfield 'stuff' here in the States is a gamble at best and most of the good stuff is priced for collectors, which puts it a little out of my price range...

Here are a couple of British companies that make scope bases for the No4. Any idea of their reliability/stability? Recommendations?
