1933 No.4 Mk1(T) Sniper "Trials Rifle"
c/w with matched No.32 Mk1 scope by William Watson & Sons

This is one of original trials rifles upgraded and converted to sniper configuration by RSAF Enfield. They only did 1,403 of these before Holland and Holland (S51) began producing the standard No.4(T)'s, based upon regular No.4 Mk1 production standards.

This rifle is "all correct" and features the original round cocking piece, "waisted" front sight protector, hinged front barrel band, butt marking disc. folding aperture sight with battle sight removed and magazine cut-off. According to Skennerton's book "The British Sniper", the latter was removed during the conversion, however, this rifle has a correct style original one added back to reflect it's 1933 No.4 Mk1 "Trials Rifle" heritage. All of these "Trials" sniper rifles were original fitted with the No.32 Mk1 scope.
