Israeli No.4(T)

[Blimey]

Hi there - this is my first posting.

I have recently received a 1942 No.4(T) which could be an authentic Israeli. It feels about right for an Israeli rifle but I can't find any information to compare it with.


The seller told me that the rifle was one of the pre-1948 303's "borrowed" from the British and altered in the fledgling Haganagh cottage industry. All the original British markings have been removed and the original scope has been removed & replaced by an Israeli scope. Presummably this is so the numbers on the rifle can't be used to trace it back to its original owners.

Does anyone have any information to confirm this is an authentic Israeli No.4(T) please?
