If the scopes are there, one has to wonder how long before the rest of the guns are here as well, minus the receivers

I can't say as to the WW1 scope that is on ebay, but the WW2 scope is a #42. Of course, the seller makes great claims as to the provenance and useage (ie "commando 22 snipers"), while also claiming that he doesn't know anything about these things.

Punch in "enfield" and "sniper" and you'll see the two of them.
