303 sniper

[No4Mk1(T)]

OK with the kind help of Lance I have two more numbers to add to my small survey.
1944 B35324 with 24983
1945 V36106 with 24479
Thank You very much Lance!
In my PM to him I mentioned I was considering taking on the job of a full sized No4T serial number survey to which he reacted quite positively. To this end I have decided to take on the project. I don’t wish to further hijack this thread so please don’t forward any numbers to me just yet. I wish to develop the spread sheet and come up with the goals of the survey as well as consult with Badger first. I will start a new thread with in the next week or so assuming this all meats with Badgers approval.

That's a good idea, except that how can one tell which are original scope to rifle fittings and which are not? Only by looking at detailed photos of the scope, rifle, bracket and butt wrist I assume.

You got it. Any rifle still bearing it’s S51 stamp and serial number with no bared through scope serial numbers would be a prime candidate.
With regards to the No4(T) survey I am still (slowly) working toward doing this but life has stepped in the way and left me with little computer time in the last year and a half or so. As it stands at this moment I suspect it will still be into the fall of this year before I’ll be able to follow through with this. More to come in time but for now I’ll leave it at that.

That sure looks like Belgian markings to me.

[Roger Payne]

Agreed. It's definitely stencilled up in French: Fusil = Rifle; Lunette = scope.

Thank you for that gentlemen.
