    I built a little photo album of the rifle to share:

    Starts with the boxes they rifle and transit chest came in...



    Contents of the box: (The previous owner removed the wood inside to repaint it...alas....but all the paper has been laminated to protect it!)



    The full set:



    Left side receiver (the "T" is visible, and looking carefully, the No 4 Mk I is too)



    It's actually a 1945 M47C rifle...



    The upper number is the scope, the lower is the rifle: (Alas, the bolt is non-matching. :-( Sigh.)



    Side view:



    Another view:



    Sling swivel:



    Import and proof marks on the barrel:



    Front pad: (Note the almost crystaline finish on the surface)



    Rear pad:



    Cheek-rest:



    The rear sight appears to be non-original:



    A little C-Broadarrow under the stock:



    The fore-end:



    The scope is an AK & S Mk III (Sold to me as a MK II....I wasn't going to complain!)



    The bracket:



    Underside:



    Waterproof, but not bloomed?
