    Thanks N4 Mk1 (T). How's the weather on The Island at the moment? Was your scopeless No4 (T) a 44 BSA? I only ask as the relatively few non-Savage 'less scope' rifles I have seen or heard of have all been 44 BSA's.........I think that in general the atypical or non-standard markings on 43 & earlier rifles is generally indicative of the early stage of evolution of the marking system, although as they say, 'never say never & never say always when talking about Enfields!'

    Incidentally burpgun, I'm pleased the bracket does the business -- I've always been a stickler on the machining. Also, I have AQ 93XX in my collection!

    The weather is great! I only wish I didn't have to go to work as it would be perfect for shooting.
    Yes and sorry I intended to mention that my "Less Scope" was a 1944 BSA in the B prefix serial number range. It looked almost mint and had been fitted with a Mk3 scope and original bracket.
