No. 4 (T) DP rifle

[Roger Payne]

Something else I just noticed going back to the photo's at the start of the thread; it has a modified SMLE mag in it. Note the flutes running to the very bottom of the mag casing. However, the locating rib down the rear face of the mag looks to have been shortened as per the norm for No4 mags. I have a couple of these somewhere - not fantastically rare, but scarce-ish.

The mag actually does not match the serial number of the rifle, that may explain the mismatch there.
