Hello all,

In the quest to own my own No4 Mk1 (T) I came across this rifle for sale. Totaly over priced IMHO at $3,995.00 starting bid for just this rifle. I was thinking of making a lower offer as I wait to see if the seller will provide better pictures of all the stuff that needs to be verified to make this an authentic rifle.

There are a few things that bother me about this rifle. One is that it has a 1943 OS 466A No. 32 Mk1 scope? Should it not have a No. 32 Mk3 scope instead? As per the scope number on the wrist of the butt stock I think scope serial number 22612 would be for a Mk3? Plus the crosswire is bent/broken, the scope hardly has any ware on it and the mag is not the original. (besides the Mk1 only has 2 moa clicks where I would prefer the 1 moa clicks of the Mk3 scope)

The scope can be fixed however the mag can never be fixed. How does a mismatched magazine affect a rifles short term/long term value?

One positive that I hardly have seen is a matching scope mount! Also the scope rings are low numbered 72 and 73. I thought that was odd as well.

I looked in the forum and I came across these posts but nothing conclusive about the scope.

Thank you in advance.
