* ** Good evening all;

* * Being a collector of mostly Mosin Nagant Snipers I have come seeking input one a recent Enfield No4 Mk1 sniper that I acquired. I bought it for a very reasonable price after being reassured the scope and mount where worth more than I paid for the whole rifle.*
What I have been able to find out so far with the help of a couple of very knowledgeable collectors is as follows;

The stock has been stripped and refinished with to markings to indicate its and original H&H stock

The rifle is marked on the butt socket ring by the POFicon /Pakistan Ordnance Factories

It appears to have been surplused by the Britishicon post WW2*

It is also stamped "TR" as well as "FTR" (factory through repairs)

The barrel is a Canadianicon Long Branch barrel dated 44/45

The rear sight is a Stevens / Savage

The scope mount is a Rose Bros. (JG) has been re-serialed to this rifle* (the old S/N being AP3754)

The scope is a* N0 32 Mk3

The front sight block appears to have the screws properly staked with no signs of ever having been reused.


There is some thought that the rifle was set up by the Pakistanis, but that is just an idea thrown around with nothing to solidly back it up.

So my question to you Ladies and Gentlemen, Has anyone ever seen one like this, and what are your thoughts on this beast.
