Enfield Mk No4 Mk1 Scope Bridge for review

[Peter Laidler]

The answer is very simple and needs no further elaboration. It looks real/genuine enough but in the past, probably when these things were dirt cheap and ten-a-penny, some turkey has fitted another telescope to it and found that he needs to cut the rearmost 1/2" or so off the rear end in order to allow the ocular end of his 'better' telescope to to fit.

The good news is that you could still use it with a No32 telescope and it'd still hold the telescope fast because the horizontal movement of the telescope is controlled by the front cradle part, as is the anti rotation medium. And the front cradle part is intact.

The same turkey that 'fixed' your bracket came to my house recently to 'fix' my leaky shower tiles. He's been back a few times since to 're-fix' the leaks but he's failed because they don't make that silicon sealer stuff in half hundredweight tubes
