Warner & Swasey scope mounted on a Patt. 14 (T)?

Completely forgot the WWII pic! Anyway, the thing to make sure of is whether the P'14 bracket is same-same as the '03. One moment, there are books here! Novel concept. (I'm not at work for once). Back shortly.

According to Brophy, the Ross scope bracket has longer feet. No mention of P'14 brackets in his book.

Skennerton shows a picture of a Ross bracket -two long legs and one short(on the receiver ring). Pg 173 "The British Sniper" 1st ed.

Canadian W&S scopes number in their own series- only 3 digits long at most rather than Brophy's stated 4 digit S/N. (At least per the examples shown in print and previously seen w/Mk I eyeballs- not mine- just near by!)

_Apart from zeroing issues, having a spare set of scope guts might be nice- Even after a good cleaning, trash will still get on the lenses inside and drive you mad. The extra hole in the cover was a later service mod to keep the reticle from rotating. The down side is that the sealant is still on the cover screws on the balance of the scope, be a shame to pull it apart if it wasn't resealed recently.
