    Well now that you (and we) are convinced that it's the real McCoy, just punch the letter T in - just as we would do with any other letter or number that wasn't clearly visible

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It is there my friend. I can see it in the photo. Look very very closely in the circle I provided, the "T" is slightly deeper than the milling marks and the long part of the T and the serif runs across the milling. It is most definately there....

    If the side of the body has been sanded or ground down, anything is possible, but while we've seen quite a few No4(T)s with those faint markings, the "T" stamps always seem well struck.

    You can buy kits to "raise" effaced stamped markings on steel. You might want to try that.

    But it could just be one of the "T less Telescope" rifles.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    I looked again for that "T" COLD ZERO can't see it. I doubt the body side has been ground down Surpmil.....the original etched "No4 MK1" with serial number of rifle is still very visible. I shot the rifle today I will put the results on a new thread. Cheers.
