Gunbroker Auction - Long Branch Enfield No4 Mk1 T

[jmoore]

I'm just wondering if the separate major components are real, not reproduction, sniper components (rifle, scope, scope mount, transit box) that someone has put together to make a sniper, then perhaps it would be reasonable to purchase it and then sell the parts as necessary - could reap more than you paid.

I think you are correct, here. Its "real" stuff, thrown together in all likelihood. Whether or not its worth breaking up will depend on the final price, of course. The happiest outcome would be for someone to mate long sought bits together in their proper places.

The real drama is that it appears to be somewhat "improved", but not to the level expected in post war service. BTW IF you've some old paper, there's no shortage of WWII vintage typewriters to make all the "matching kit" labels you want....
