This is High Condition 1944 BSA selected to be upgraded into a "T" pattern sniper rifle with correct "TR" marking on the left side of receiver ring. These sniper rifles were based on hand selected No. 4 rifles and saw service with Commonwealth forces during WWII and into the 1960s. In addition to the rifle's standard protected blade front sight and ladder rear, Scope is a No. 32 Mk. II OS. 1650A & mounted on a quick detach base. Scope is dated 1944 and numbered "15803"which is matched to the rifle with the same number force matched on the wrist(see photo). Cast scope base is a high quality reproduction(Roger Payne replica) and was Matched 3522 to same as on the bolt and rifle.
Walnut stock with cheek piece, "S51" also stamped behind the grip indicating the rifle is a wartime conversion by famed gunmaker Holland & Holland.
CONDITION: Very Good. Metal retains the vast majority of its arsenal applied finishes with some fading. Stocks show small nicks and impressions throughout as is to be expected on military issue arms. Good, strong grooves and bright bore.
Scope is original and is still very clear for it age. Also included as an original green metal scope case for securing the scope. However, the numbers on this case are not matching the scope..
Barrel Length: 25 - 1/2" Caliber/Bore: .303 BSA Model: No. 4 MK 1* (T) Serial Number: D3522. Also comes with a Chest S.A. No15 Mk1 - Transit Chest for the Lee Enfield No 4T Sniper Rifle. Overall I would give the condition a 9/10. This world make an excellent addition to any collection.
*Included also is the MKIl.s Scout Regiment Telescope was first introduced in 1939 at the start of WW2 and soon after supplied as an integral part of the sniper's No4T kit chest issued alongside the Holland & Holland modified Lee Enfield No.4(T) sniper's rifle, matched scope, officers prismatic compass, etc.
This is truly the Rolex of British sniper rifles!) If you are looking for something very rare only 21,617 rifles were converted by Holland and Holland from 1942-1946.
