No.4 (T) for $20 build thread

[jonh172]

Just did a loose fitting of the parts to see how its coming along... and take a few pictures of course

This is the Bracket I decided to use. It came with the scope in this unfortunate state. I believe (just go with it) that they came off the same rifle as not only had the bracket been mutilated in an attempt to "sporter" but the scope had its identity filed off, for what i can only assume was to remove anything that associated it with a military rifle.... or save weight :/

The scopes optics were very dark so I shipped it off to a specialist in the field of No.32's and he not only restored it internally but gave it a coating of Suncorite 259! Aside from the missing engravings (the metal is now too thin to re-engrave) it is good as new.

The bracket is solid, just ugly, and I cant bring myself to mount a repro on it so I'm sticking with the one that belongs with the scope!

Butt stock is also an old refinished (T), the last pic, blurry as it is, shows an old serial #.

Cheek piece is repro and I am in need of screws, any suggestions?
