No4MkI/2(T)

[bearhunter]

I have what I believe to be n Indian No4 MkI/2 T.
It has the Ishy screw in the forestock in front of the receiver and the thin black paint on all metal parts.
The scope is a TEL STG No 32 Mk I, HBM Co. OS. 466 A, which is correct as the first batch of scopes sold to the Indians were the Mk I type.
The receiver is marked, M47 1943 and serial number, which matches the bolt and forestock. The number on the buttstock doesn't match anything. The butt also has a circle stamped on it with 506 \l/ 5-74
The butt also has a repair that is very much Indian as it has a slight upward curve.
The cheekpiece and front upper fore stock have been replaced with some sort of Indian wood and the whole stock has been rough sanded to reduce glare.
The barrel has also been replaced and has the bayonet lugs intact, which I've been told by a collector in the states is common on these rifles.
The scope mount upper rings are stamped with numbers to mate to front and rear and has a reinforceing bar welded on the back side, which I'm told is also correct for this rifle.
The scope has been arsenal refurbed and is sharp and clear, all of the adjustments are smooth and respond properly.
It came with a battered but proper sling, transit chest and scope can as well as a small desicant bag.
