looks like a really nice example, probably not original as the blueing is a bit too crisp for my liking. If it was as old and original as they say it was it would look more like the one on used guns at the moment, at least they have been honest and told you it had a repro mount for it but the rest were orig.

I can't really tell from the pics on this phone, but looked at the pics of the butt socket on the SMLE sniper..are the ***s to the left of the III? I don't think I've ever seen that before.

It's a MkIII. Those extra marks appear to be rust pits or other minor damage.

Fakes in my opinion. The No4, the SMLE and the Mosin-Nagant.

I personally have never seen an oiler serialized to a gun. Did they do that? Seems like a waste as they can be lost in the field rather easily.

Did they use BSA rifles to build up as WW1 snipers? - I have only seen Enfield ones.

Nearly all the correct ones I've seen have been Enfields but IIRC Rob Hallam's PPCo rifle (which had provenance) & which was sold in the Bonham's auction of his collection back in about 1998, was set up on a BSA made rifle.
