British Enfield Sniper???

[bearhunter]

I have some pics and they may still be on another post here of an Indian No4 Mk1T. The rifle started out life in the UK and and was later sold to India with its Mk1 scope. It was completely FTRed as the bbl is excellent and the scope is in perfect conditon, including the lenses, which look to have been replaced and are sharp and clear.

The rifle is similar to the OP's but of course different. The finish on the stock has been sanded with coarse sand paper to cut shine and the biggie, it is marked No4 MkI/3 T. The left side of the butt is marked M47C, 1943, 5--6. It has an unusual scope bracket and it may be of Indian origin. I sold the rifle a year ago to someone that really appreciates it.

If anyone would like some pics, I seem to be computer illiterate to the point that no matter how hard I try or wherever I open an account, I don't seem to be able upload pics. Anyway, send me an email addy and I will be happy to send them to you. There are about 20 pics. I saw one other besides mine at a gunshow in Kamloops early on the first morning of the show. It wasn't on display or for sale because it had exchanged hands in the pre hours trading that goes on amongst vendors. The vendor paid $3200 cash for it. He was going to take it to a northern Alberta show an put it up for sale where he felt he could make a quick $500 - $1000 profit on it. I wished him luck but there's lots of money up there and No4Ts aren't exactly common.

I wouldn't mind seeing some examples of the No4 Ts from other nations. Just to see how they're marked. Norway, Denmark, France, Italy, Turkey to name a few would be nice.

Thanks Prinz Eugen. I looked at the photo's & suspect my line that the Indian Mk1 T's generally retain their original markings but the Mk1/2's don't may still hold true: If you look at Bearhunter's rifle, it appears still to be a Mk1 -- look at the back of the forend. I can't read the receiver sidewall Mk1/2 marking clearly, but if it is indeed that it would seem to be incorrectly stamped, or maybe Uri Geller fitted the forend to it!
