    Out of curiosity is this a real No4t or not? to me, no but I am no expert.

    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 ...

    Well the scopes not vertically aligned and the price is way to cheap for a purported early T the serif style of the T, OS No. on the bracket is suspicious as is the serial on the wrist, were the early "T"s stamped on the flats. I have seen repop hinged bands for sale on that site so its pretty easy to age stuff if it seems to good & cheap then it may be not what it seems just my rudimentary take on things.

    Gone silent ..............................stamps are crisp and certainly the T didnt feel right, nor the price, but as I say waiting for the experts views, as nothing in relation to 4T's is ever crystal clear!!!!

    Oh.....its that obvious ha ha!

    I'm certainly no expert, but even I can tell that the front pad mounting looks pretty bad.
