No. 4 MK I T Sporter *PICS*

[thrawnformbi]

Hello chaps - finished up this restoration and thought I'd share some photos. I still need to make the appropriate colored 1907 sling but this repro will do for now. I have the bridle leather on order from the Baker tannery in the UK to fashion up a set of lens caps and some proper linen thread from Barbour as well. I aged up the scope quite a bit because hell its a repro and that RSM finish is just off looking to begin with. Will be making some metal scope case straps today for Henry as well.

Thanks to Brian Dick for the rebarrel, Roger Payne for the bracket, Warren for the scope rebuild, and Henry Baxter for helping me track down a proper swivel.

Fitted NOS Savage forend (all I could find) but managed to save the original matching buttstock so very happy to keep those scope numbers intact. I've also replaced the Zamack buttplate with a proper brass.


Laminated breakdown of repro parts and sporter origins under the buttplate. Posted here as well to help keep its de-sportered provenance as crystal clear as possible.

Very happy with it for what it is. Enjoy and thank you all again for the help.
