Never say Never!

[Amatikulu]

The link to the slideshow below is of a rifle I recently added to my collection. I bought it sight unseen from a reputable source, through a friend. It was mis-identified as a 1941 Maltby Sniper rifle but when it was delivered I knew it wasn't a Maltby, but a Fazakerley rifle.

Fazakerley rifles are not believed to have been converted to the No.4 Mark 1(T)
configuration. I have sent numerous pictures to advanced collectors to ask their opinions and while there are some questions, and some are skeptical, most believe that this is a genuine piece and hence the title -"Never say Never"

The known recent history on this rifle is limited. It was purchased in Georgia, at a gunshow over 5 years ago and had the cheekpiece missing but the holes in the butt stock for mounting it. A genuine cheekpiece was added by the previous owner. All I have done with it is use white highlighting to bring out the markings.

I believe its a genuine piece and am showing it now for your enjoyment and to complement the recent threads of 1941 sniper rifles by Paul Breakey.
