WTK: mk4T good or bad?

[Lance]

As stated above, check to see if the scope s/n is stamped into the butt behind the cocking piece along with the "S51" stamp on the bottom of the butt. You can also take the butt off and check the socket flat to see if the rifle s/n is stamped there also, it should be if the butt is original.

I agree that the plumb color on mount is curious as I have never seen one go plumb and the font of the rifle s/n on the mount is curious along with the fact that the scope ring screws are not staked as they should be in a later rifle that has had the rifle number added to the mount. It is not wrong but should of been done.

I cannot say it is fake or original without more detailed pic's. Due to the scope case being mismatched you have to be on the look out for garage put together.

Also check to see if the receiver has the "T" stamp, if it does not then it is a put together of an incomplete rifle that was never finished in '46

Hi oprod ... and welcome to the site ...

As Lance said, check for a "T" stamp on the left side of the receiver somewhere after the No.4 Mk1 designation. Do you have a pic of that?

Thanks
