NO 4 MK1 (T) VERIFICATION

[Surpmil]

The 4T was supplied by H&H with a 'N' length butt only, if, when it was issued, the sniper required as 'S' or 'L' length then it would be changed by an Armourer and would then be down to the armourer to number / mark it up 'if he wanted to'.

Copy of extract from the 1944 Components list

The "fine adjustment backsight" reference is slightly odd, since it was simply a standard No.4 Rifle backsight!
A conscious or unconscious hold-over from the description of the No.3 MkI*(T) presumably.
