Hi,here are a few pics of my trials T.
It looks like it still has the original cuttoff as the metal finish looks the same.
Mk1 scope dosen't match
Badger you were lucky!

Congratulations ...

I remember this one from the CGN discussion about it ...

The SMLE No 1 Mk V & Mk V1 along with the No.4 Mk1 "Trials Rifle" all used a stamped sheet metal cut-off, as opposed to the forged ones on the earlier rifles. You can tell the difference by looking at the round part that forms the grip. The early style is solid with a hole drilled in it, while the sheet metal unit has a gap where it was rolled over to form the round part.

Badger
