[Delboy]

I'm looking at buying a No4T with a No32 MK 1 scope can you tell me what to look for by way of marking on gun I'm told it's all matching numbers plus scope number on butt looking at paying around £3000 am I doing right

[Roger Payne]

That's a very broad question. Do you know the manufacturer & year of manufacture of the rifle? Also, could you get some photo's of it? If you have, or can get, photo's then let us have a look & I'm sure you'll get plenty of helpful advice.

Delboy,

Have you any more info and any pics ? what date is the rifle ? is it just scope and rifle or with scope can ? £3000 seems a good price, but you need to do your homework there are a lot of not so correct No4 T's about..........

I would doubt a Mk1 scope would be original to the rifle..... its probably been mated to the rifle and the number stamped on the Butt unless its an early trials one.....

Sorry Delboy....... Roger and big duke are being a tad diplomatic. On the other hand, I'm not so....... You have asked the typical and ambiguous 'what can I do to get my car started' question. Your Q has told us absolutely nothing I'm afraid!

[Delboy]

Morning gents sorry about lack of information the rifle is a No4 MK1 1942 all matching numbers the scope is No32 MK1 OS466AKL 1941 Reg No 6876 if you look on Gunstar it's on there priced at £3150 that's all I can tell you I'm supposed to pick it up next week that's if you guys can say I'm getting a bargain or not Ho and on the side of the action right hand side near breach is a stamp marking S your help will be appreciated

Delboy,

The scope looks the real deal, the bracket isn't, its a cheap Asian repro......... as for the rifle its a No4 Mk 1 but you would need better detailed pics to confirm it was a T.

bigduke6Contacted seller he got the gun from C&G guns as a genuine 4T paid £3500 for it would put photos on but not sure how to if you text me your mobile I will add photos 07971417790 cheers

[bigduke6]

Delboy you need to upload the pics to photo bucket or similar then copy them and paste...... there is a post or thread in the Stickies with instructions etc, it will allow some of the experts to look at them, I can tell you for sure the bracket isn't genuine......and the TR on the socket looks fresh (IE the paint looks like its missing) could be just the pic.

I've just found it from the info you provided. As Big Duke says, more photo's of the rifle would be nice, though I suspect in this case would only serve to help us pull the thing to pieces more readily! Even from the views shown the rifle is almost certainly a fake; the receiver side wall T is wrong, you rarely if ever see original 4T's with the FTR details electrpencilled onto the body wall in the way one does with bog standard No4's; the 'S' on the cut-off boss looks like it was put there last week; the bracket is a modern Pacific Rim repro.................but the good news is that the scope is real!

Hope this helps you make up your mind a little........
