No.4T... Lots of Pics.

[Sht_LE]

Here is my No.4T I saved my pennies a long time to get her. She is a 1944 dated BSA Shirley all matching (receiver, bolt, forearm and scope mount) and the scope serial number matches the number on the buttstock. She still has the scope can with her that is matching to the rifle and scope, but no chest. The sling, carry strap for the scope can and the leather lense cover came with her and all apear to be original. The bore is perfect and looks brand new, but I have not taken her apart (I have no plans to) so don't know the barrel date. The scope looks great, but needs some love. The turrets are frozen and the lenses are a little grungy around the edges. Don't know how she shoots..... yet. So can't comment on her accuracy. I think at some point after WW2 she was rebuilt, but she has no FTR mark. Let me know what you think and maybe a ball park price of what you think she is worth.




Hollow bolt knob, is that common on Ts?










No import stamp on her but she does have an export stamp. Any way to date this?


Looks to be an original sling to me. Does anyone know that the stamp under the date is?






Does anyone know that the label on the left is made from? It looks like it was originally an envelope. The cleaning cloth was in the can when I got her and looks old so I have left it.




Alloy butt plate. Seems like most Ts I have seen have brass. Also, M4A3 Sherman would not get his left leg out of the pic... He had come over so I could take some pics of his new old mouser, so I shot some of my T while I was at it.






Does not appear to have been renumbered, but a No.32 Mk.3 scope on a 1944 dated T?




Does anyone know who made this mount? From Peters book I think it is a replacement mount?
