    Trials No. 4 Mk I (T)

    It's a slow day here in rural Virginia, so I thought I'd throw some photos up of the new Trials No. 4 Mk I (T). It's still got all its bits and bobs except for its original scope (No. 3504).

    It now wears Kershaw Ltd. No. 7180 in a (*very* uncollimated ) Rose Bros. bracket. I'm very pleased to have her!

    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.

    Must be one of the best preserved examples out there.

    Can you post some close ups of the scope numbers on the wrist?
    “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.

    Your original scope number isn't many numbers away from the original on my '33 Trials T

    Waco16 & Rayg, our rifles quite possibly shared floorspace at some point!

    A Trials No. 4 has been my white whale for a bit now. Had one pass through my hands that turned out to be a bad home rebuild (got sent back), then just missed two others at auction. I'm glad to have finally gotten my hands on a good one.
