I appreciate the feedback. Incidentally, this was my first Enfield purchase, and although I feel much more educated now, I am still a newb in this world of LE craziness lol. What is interesting is how accurate, or inaccurate was the description from Rock Island. I will paste it below for reference
This BSA manufactured No. 4 Mk I (T) Enfield sniper rifle is fitted with a No. 32 Mk 3 scope and mount. "M47/1943/AK1335/TR" marked on the left of the stock socket. The comb of the stock has a hardwood cheekpiece held on with two wood screws. Standard blade front sight and absent rear sight. Matching serial number "AK1335" marked on the bolt handle and "1335" stamped twice on the bottom of the forend. The scope tube is marked "TEL.STG.No 32 Mk 3/OS.2039A.(logo)No19384" and also has a red painted "W" and a blue painted "B", with the standard post and cross-hair reticle pattern, and fitted in a cast scope mount matching serial numbered "G31222" on the left. The matching number to the scope "19384" is stamped on top of the buttstock at the wrist (below two other crossed out numbers), and "S51" is stamped on the bottom of the buttstock indicating conversion by Holland & Holland. Includes a period brown leather sling, reproduction brown leather scope lens covers, and cleaning rope in the butt compartment.
Additionally I also have one their way a

Sorry, it's not a B prefix number on the bracket, but a G prefix. That still equates to a BSA 44 rifle, just a month or two later in the year!
Overall, looks nice - the rifle looks very crisp & has a zero bolt head, which is great.....The only mild down side is the rematching.......but it is no different to many other 4T's in that respect, & it is still a real 4T sporting a real scope & bracket. It's just a shame that some owners feel the need to rematch them themselves, rather than leaving them as 'honest mismatches'. Most of my remaining 4T's fall into this latter category.
