"SCOPED LEE Enfield" (CGN Private Ad)

[Cantom]

The base bears nothing whatsoever in common with a TP base.

The REL mount looks similar to the G&H mount except it is improved somewhat.

The G&H system uses the locking pins to secure it in place while the REL system uses both the pins and the plate to friction lock the rings to the mount.

Here's the one lousy pic used in the American auction...wonder how much it will go for?
Anyone know how correct this mount is? There's mention in the auction of it being changed or something...

It'll be one of the Dutch bring backs. Repro base, legit rings & scope. The rifle is well outside the batch range.

The TP scopes are a separate military contract. They are uniquely marked. I've owned 3 of them and they all conformed to each other generally with 1 unique "tell" which I've observed. I asked Clive Law and several other collectors whether they had observed a TP which did not fit this pattern & no one claimed to have observed one outside it.

However, I have seen 1 for sale on Epay some years ago which was different and I believe it had markings faked up to look like a TP.

I'm guilty, I bought it. My garand bug has spread to enfields. I figured even though its a fake and its not being sold as legit its still cool to have. The price is decent for whats included and i was looking for a No4 anyway. The scope makes it a little more desirable. I plan to take it to the range just to see how many people will ask if its real!.

I think he's referring to the CGN Private Ad rifle that started this thread and not the RIA U.S. auction piece ....
