    Indian No 4T question

    Hi all,
    I've searched the forum and failed to find a clear answer, so at risk of covering old ground again . . .

    Does anyone know if the 4Ts in Indian use were all converted Britishicon or Canadianicon 4Ts or were some new snipers on non-sniper No 4s?

    Cheers,
    Burton

    I knew I'd find the answer as soon as I posted this and I have.
    Never mind.

    yes, they are all converted No4 T's.

    however they appear to have completed conversions to Mk1/2 themselves.

    Yes, they did convert many to Mk1/2 spec. ANOTHER wise move by the canny Indians. Makes assembly at manufacturing level far easier. Makes life in the Armourers shops much easier too.
