Canadian Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk I (T)

Yes, a fake. Even a cursory glance shows the front pad screws are incorrect

[Giove]

Thank you Roger.

There are a number of known Savage "less telescope" rifles that popped up in the last 15 years.

No, it's not normal Giove, you would generally expect to see a scope number there regardless of whether you were looking at a UK or Canadian set up 4T. The only exceptions were the No4 (T) Less telescope rifles, but AFAIK these consist only of British rifles, not Canadian.

Thanks for the clarification. I agree entirely. They didn't occur to me off the top of my head perhaps because although of US manufacture they were set up over here at H&H along with all of the BSA's......

Yes, that's so. What is interesting to me is that of these Savage Less Telescoped T's that showed up, many, many, of them were in the No. 15 crate.

Interesting. I have a scoped up Mk1 Savage T, & one scoped & one less scope Mk1* rifle. Unfortunately my less scope rifle came on its own. A correct (suitably stencilled) chest would be the icing on the cake!

Another fake L.B. sniper, I think. What do you think about it?

Like tits on a bull as the saying goes. (I guess that was "teats" originally!)
