I hope you're not referring to the No. 3 Mk.I (F) rifle (lot #400) - if it's matching numbers, do not destroy it by adding a scope mount!

Typical Scotty description, it was a P14 with a Parker Hale target sight fitted. I was intending to bid if it was in fact a (W)F. The Canadian
4ts were iffy but to be honest the prices they went for was less than the parts.

Nearly all snipers had issues, already from the poor descriptions .. and some pictures clearly showed the bases are reproductions. Like one LB No. 4 T, you could see the front scope pad is not blued at all..
Lot #400 was described to be a P.14 (F) rifle.

early in WWII.
"Early" as in 1942/43.

I'm reliably informed that some lots sent by Greater Manchester Police had to be pulled PDQ as they were an innocent shooters property.
