    I do not know where that telescope mount came from but it is not an early US night scope mount. It looks like a bit steampunkess, Could be a movie prop for the movie, "When I was in the SAS." The movie probably never got release because it was so bad. LOL!!

    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 ...

    Ah, the plot thickens! Thanks for posting that up.

    I get the feeling that Bubba is going to be selling another ultra rare SAS No5 with that scope on it!

    Will probably be LRDG or Special Service Force next time.

    Maybe someone should send the lucky buyer a link?

    I think it has to be an experimental rifle for the SAS motorcycle corps. Looking at that scope mount system, if you mounted the rifle to say the front edge of a motorcycle side car, then the scope would end up being just about the right height for the rider to sight through it without bending his head at all. Or maybe a fixed position in the bush--If you put it on a sort of traverse (like on a Bren tripod) you could snipe with no difficulty at all without even having to go to all the discomfort of lying down. You wouldn't need to worry about your position being compromised, because the flash-hider/suppressor combination would make the whole thing mouse-fart quiet.......
