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?
