    1933 Trials T

    If anyone is interested there is currently a very nice 1933 dated trials 4T, minus its scope on Gunbroker at the moment.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    That is a nice rifle - is there a reasonably pain-free way of getting it to the UKicon?

    I purchased the 1933 trials rifle in a US auction and featured on this forum back in April. That rifle is due to hit the UKicon any day now via the much appreciated help of a US forum member and Brian Dickicon.

    It has been a reasonably pain free experience, just time consuming. The US side seemed to grind at a slow pace.

    The rifle currently up for auction looks to have had its rear sight replaced with a Savage sight along with the mag which from the pics also looks to have the Savage stamp. If your serious about buying I would be asking for a few more pics and if the number on the woodwork is matching.

    Promo, as previously mentioned here in thread #3 I have already made a significant purchase of a 1933 trials which was discussed at length on this forum back in April. That rifle has only just reached the UKicon and I'm hoping to lay my hands on it for the first time next week. If I wasn't already committed to my current purchase and if I had an open cheque book that rifle would be mine!!

    The reason that it relisted is because it is priced higher than most complete No4 snipers are selling for in the US, and is rather a dismounted one.

    I would say it was at some point in its life or was in the process of being one, look at the pic of the left side of the body, outline of the rear pad holes and the bracket screw hole, hard to say if the holes were filled in and welded.... but no outline of the front pad holes.
