Lee Enfield No.4T Rear of screws

[Seaforth72]

The Long Branch sniper rifles do not have the “TR” and “S” markings.

May I respectfully point out that faking the markings is forgery., even if you tell everyone it is a clone. A future owner might well not be so scrupulous. Making a clone of a No.4 (T) is fine, just do not add any fake markings.

The idea of converting a rifle that has already been “violated” by conversion to a sporter is a good one. There are lots around where the barrels have not been cut and no extra holes drilled etc. Messing up a full-military and correct one is the sort of thing that “Bubba” would do. The full No.4 military rifles, once dirt cheap, are now scarce and getting expensive. Original Long Branch No.4 Mk.I* rifles are especially desirable today.

There are even genuine No.4 (T) rifles that have been sporterized, had pads removed etc. and would make interesting restoration projects.
