No4 T telescope

[Surpmil]

Now C No.67s litter the planet... Couldn't find one for any sort of money when I had the chance to get a rifle to go under one. It sat in a friend's cage for well over a year- possibly three, but no scope! Rifle finally went to Oz.

Tally-ho!

The seller of the replicas in Italy is user ID "piero40xc". He has some very nice looking gauges as well. Someone should encourage him to make some running .303 gauges that screw onto a Parker Hale rod. (He's made similar for the Carcano already)

Roger, that's an interesting rifle I must say. Could be Lt. John George had a British equivalent with G&H mounts and a Lyman only on a SMLE instead of a Model 70 a la George. In fact I'm sure there must have been several such as I've read of at least one; though the rifle was not described other than as a private purchase.

Regarding the G&H commercial bases I was going through some photos and it looks pretty clear that they were supplied undrilled, and probably with three screws and two pins. Too much variety in placement of screws and pins for them to have been drilled by G&H. It would have made no sense to supply them drilled anyway as the gunsmith would need to locate them to suit the rifle action.
