No 4 Sniper Identification

[read6737]

Hi

Happy New Year and good health to you all from France.

Can any one help me with this......... Please.

I am sure some of you will have seen these pics from one of my other posts.
I know the rifle is NOT an english made No4T.

What I understand is that it was an Israeli made one, post WW11 manufacture 4T from surplus rifles that they acquired after the setting up of the state of Isreal. The pads are the give away the front pad has staggered screw holes and the rear pad has its screws reversed and the type of screw being a cheese head. IT does have a "T" stamped between the pads. But no other marks I can find. It seems logical for Israel to mark their rifles thus to indicate a sniper, and as they used many brit enfields, and why not stay with a recognized marking system.

I have set up a no 32 mk 11 scope on the rifle with an original no 32 Canadian mount, it lines up perfectly.
It shoots very very well. and is one of the best rifles I have ever shot.
Trigger pull is 1.5kilo and is very direct and no slack to take up.
A pull I like and would try to setup for myself for target shooting.
