Advice on No4 T

[Surpmil]

EnfieldC, you'd be well advised to dig hard to find out where the pads went. Some misguided civilian removed them, and they may still be around somewhere.

The pad bearing surfaces were machined AFTER fitting to the rifle, so they are to some extent unique to each rifle. At times replacement pads and brackets have been found to collimate well, and other times not so well!

I have been traveling for the holiday and haven't gotten back until now. I pulled it out of the safe and cannot for the life of me get an idea of the scope number. Any of the markings are filled with cosmoline and almost unreadable. I think if the stock were properly removed and sweated they may show up. Here is the photos I was able to take. I appreciate everyones feedback! Surpmil thank you I did not realize that. Could a qualified gunsmith grind it down to the receiver and fit pads properly?

I found it interesting that it has a Savage rear sight perhaps taken off of a spare laying around. Also it has two small holes in the side of the buttstock. I have owned a number of no4s and never seen this before

Savage rear sights are fairly common of No4 Ts. Two of my T's have Savage rear sights installed (with battle aperture ground off). Nothing unusual about it.
