    Enfield sniper?

    Trying to figure this one out. Very little usable description and pictures don't show a lot. You would think for $4k they could do a better job.

    Looks like a cobbled up rifle but curious about the scope mount as it looks similar to a TP variant. Any thoughts? It's built on a BSA action and it looks like someone stamped a TP on the wrist. Looks like it had an old serial number that was ground off and a new one applied.

    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.

    If it was RCMP then it will be so marked. They didn't just grab guns, they marked them to prove ownership. Even after we got them back, they would have the markings.

    The bases and rings for the TP were not made by Griffin & Howe. They were similar but not identical and made by SAL Long Branch. The whole thing is bogus and cobbled up from what I can see.

    "Some assembly required!"

    “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
