My No4T rifles

[Lee Enfield]

Idiots. At least the Italian dealer had the sense to match bolts to rifles on all those No.4s and No.1s they got from their navy a few years back.

Apparently they were able to match a few. From what I understand (and have seen on the internet) they found it much easier to renumbered the bolts.

Hi, I have seen on their website a few interesting pictures of the matching operations between rifles and bolts.
It was a time consuming job, but it has been done for real.
Euroarms is a very highly appreciated company here, and many collectors (including smaller ones like me) have bought rifles from them which are really matching.
Maybe some just didn't have the matching parts, but the ones I have seen and own are good.
The very nice thing is that most of the rifles were in very good conditions, since the Navy never used them, apart for some ceremonies way back in time.
There are still a few A-grade pieces out there if you know the right gun dealer who has contacts with the owners.
If I'm not wrong, the should have closed business or being short before going that way.
