I'll echo the above words Stetam - I've had an ongoing fascination with SMLE snipers for decades...........
Please put us out of our misery & let us know more!

I took a break from collecting for the past 6-7 year. Was in the Army and that had me quite busy...... and I just retired in August so back at it I am! I started looking thru my stashed away stuff and I had forgotten how many project rifles and parts I had! I have probably 15-20 Enfield in various stages of restoration. Luckily, I had picked up a bunch of SMLE and No4 stocks and new old stock safety's, rear sights and such when they were not so expensive

Well, it was a 1949 Ishapore that had an REL scope/mount on it. I can get some pics and post them a little later. Not sure if the Indians or Bubba did it, but for $300 I didn't care. OK, back to one I just got. Like I mentioned, the kid I bought it from told me his dad has one with the scope he is using to hunt deer and bear with and I am trying real hard to pry it from him. He said his dad bought it from the same shop. I think I need to make a visit to this shop, soon.

Oh well, if nothing else, the REL scope & mount will be worth several times what you paid for the whole rig (so long as they're unadulterated)! Would be interested to see how they've fitted the scope to the rifle though.

Yes, that will be the most interesting part; brace yourselves gentlemen!
