    Indian No4T and cover for No32 scope

    Hello everybody!

    I am new in this forum and I have my first question .

    I have an indian No4(T) with No32Mk3 scope in my collection, I got the rifle quite recently from a retired NCO of the Austrian Army, he kept it for at least 20 years in his gunsafe.
    The rifle has all the correct markings on the reciever (TR,T, S,...) , it is marked M47C(BSA) but insted of the year of manufacturing it has CPJO on the reciever ring.
    Can anybody explain what this means?

    I will post some pictures in the next few days.

    The only thing I am missing is the cover for the No32 scope. Can anybody of you gentlemen help and give me an info where to get a good repro cover?

    Happy new year and
    regards from Vienna

    Frank

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Welcome, a good subject for your first post.

    To answer the question about the scope "cover", if you are talking about the leather lens covers these appear regularly on ebay.co.uk
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Or talk to Jon Moore on here - the product's first class IF he's still making them.

    Is "jmoore", Jon Moore the leather artist, or is it another member? I got a great repro set of caps for an HT a few years ago. Beautiful work.

    Paul

    There are cheaper options out there but, from experience you get what you pay for

    Sorry, fellows, but whilst we're similarly "lettered", we are not the same person. Different countries, even, unless he's moved recently. I do metal "art", "Jon Moore" does leather.

    My apologies - I thought you were one and the same - I'll stop praising "you" then

    As you're NOT Jon Moore we're looking for we'll move along and go about our business - sorry, sorry, sorry (nice to know there's work there for the 'other' Jon Moore if he wants it !)

    Jon's website is here: Moore Leather

    Might be worth giving him a quick e-mail. Still can't praise the stuff highly enough - have had other repros and just destroyed them as time has gone on - 25 shows a year for the last 3/4 years with approx 100 hands a weekend all over the rifle and kit can quickly destroy leather equipment - even with leather feed etc. - Jon's is still going strong and I have been known to treat it *ahem* very harshly between shows - hard wearing and forgiving

    Going to hide under a rock now

    Happy New Year all

    Paul

    What if I said that I AM actually him?...I mean, me?... Yes,...I'm me! Praise away! That's the ticket!




    ETA: Disclaimer for the planet: I'm not really the Jon Moore that people know! I ain't nobody! Move along, no need to get excited!

    I am in need of a leather scope cover for a No32 MKII scope as fitted to the Enfield T sniper rifle.

    JMoore where are you located ?I am in Detroit. The price of the cover,please. The repro covers I bought on Ebay out of Englandicon about 7 years are one piece and stamped 1944 Broad Arrow. The original ones I have seen in Board photos are two-piece. I have assumed, therefore, that my one piece repros are not quite correct. Thank you.

    Please advise. Otto

    No, I'm NOT the famous Jon Moore of song and scope covers! Hence the little LOL icon above... He's in Merry Old. (Englandicon, that is.)

    Dang, I try and NOT be serious and look at the trouble it causes! ...Editing Post#8 for damage control!
