    Old No4 T sales adverts

    Would be interested to hear from anyone who may have any old shooting magazine adverts for the No4 T after it’s disposal from the army. I’m looking for vintage ads from the sixties and seventies.

    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 ...

    I'd love to see this kind of thing as well. I remember a "Wish I was there back then..." Thread a while ago about No4 T's, No4's and L42 sniper rifles for sale back in the day.

    I can remember looking through the guns review when I was a lad, in 1974 no4s were £6 and a 4T complete with chest was £43. I was 14 and used to be at my grandfather to get me one, wheres that time machine when you want one.

    Old No.4 T sales adverts.

    Dug around a bit and found a Canadianicon Crown Surplus Stores Ltd. catalog from the 60's and on page 46 you could buy Lee Enfield T rifles (Snipers) c/w matching number telescope. Brand new , c/w fitted case, leather sling, 303 cal. for the sum of $89.95. But then on page 14 you could also buy a Frenchicon Hotchkiss 25mm rubber tire mounted cannon c/w towing ring & iron sights, in good working order, as pictured for $250.00. Those were the days.

    Have posted this before; not sure if here though. "Guns Review", 1957.
