Looking for a No4 Mk1 T

**IanS** · 07-20-2016 04:30 AM

I've been looking to purchase a No4 Mk1 T since posting the thread about my dad's reunion with one. I thought I might have found one a while back, but the knowledge of the guys on the forum showed it was not an original. It was a Savage in the 17C series. I have now briefly seen a Savage in the 0C series, 0C46xx, but don't want to ask the owner for photos, unless there's a strong possibility it's original. I know I will be asked to post photos at some stage, but if the response is, there were no T's in this number range, there's not much point in taking it further. Thanks in anticipation.

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.

Ian, Savage 4T's do exist in the 0C4XXX range. However, & as you surmised, we'll need more than the serial number to determine whether or not it is legit. Can you get those photo's?

If you are looking for a nice 4t in the US, Scotty has one for sale at pre98.com.

Hi Roger, thanks for the response, I fully expected the request for photos. From your comments, it does seem the T could be authentic which means I can go ahead and request or take some photos myself if the owner is happy for me to do so. He did say when I saw it that he had carried out research and was satisfied it was authentic.
Snipershot1944 and Cinders, the T you referred to is in the US and I'm in the UK icon

. I suspect it would be very difficult to get it from the States to the UK. Many thanks to all of you, will post the photos as soon as I can.

There are also known Savage snipers in the 0Cx (0C1 is a famous example) thru 0Cxxx, 4Cxxxx, 7Cxxxx, 13Cxxxx, 14Cxxxx, 15Cxxxx so I don't think 17C would be improbable.

I might part wih either of my two Indian reworked No. 4 T rifles if those are of interest to you. And they are located in Europe. If you want to stay in the UK icon

with your search, you might give this dealer a try who currently does list original No. 4 T snipers for sale: Full Bore, Service and Sniper Rifles for Sale - Devizes Gunsmith

The export process to the UK icon

from the USA icon

is not too bad but does require some effort and costs some money. You should contact spikedd who's a frequent visitor here. He has a very nice all matched No.4T for sale. There's a thread full of photos here and comments too if someone knows how to resurrect it. Give him a PM and see.
