selection of a n°4 to create a n°4 "sniper"

[Peter Laidler]

Yep, maybe I'm mistaken but I have seen the picture before as I remember the hand holding the clip-board just visible in the left hand side. Maybe it's the Arms storeman and the Orderly Officer doing the weekly stock and serial number check!

You can just hear it now............. Orderly Officer to Cpl Smith: '....well, it's Friday lunchtime Cpl Smith. Let's crack on with the number count and serial number check and you can nip off early for the weekend as soon as we've finished......'

leave the gun as is im sure you can find a bubbaed gun(a gun that has been hacked up) i know i have restored a few now to what they where and i got one bubba really had his way with with a cut barrel this is sadly too far for me to restore but it will make a nice .22/303 sporter (coyotes watchout )

id love to find a original no.4T but i do have two no 4 mk 1's and one has not been fired since my great grandfather brought it back home in 1945 the other was bought after the war and has been shot quite a bit

i would not shoot any mk 7 ball its more collectible then anything i have qite a bit of it and i still will not shoot it although i have in the past and they do tubmble when the hit the target (deer) just as intended with the light nose

Mr. Cypher- assuming you weren't going to slap the rifle in the old drill press

You're absolutely right
So we have 2 threads melting a bit, I close mine. I will take in consideration your advises, It could be a nice adventure to build up a n°4 "sniper" from spare parts. I've already seen a P14 completely rebuilt with different parts, the result was very nice.
May I suggest to an admin to open a new thread with the parts of this one treating of the SMLE.

I've moved Peter's post and created a new thread germane to that subject created..

SMLE found by an author researching the fighting and retreat to Dunkirk

See if you can find a TR stamped action that was not converted. They're out there. I have one that was not and yet it displays the Enfield examiner's marks on top of the butt socket and the "S" on the cutoff boss.
