.303 No 4 (T) Mk1 Sniper Rifle

W2 Enfield British Sniper Rifle.

This fine Sniper Rifle correctly shows the serial number D35940 on the wrist and the scope mount and, also displays the scope number on the top of the stock behind the cocking piece and on the scope body. In .303 British caliber with 25″ round blued barrel. Standard two piece Walnut stock with grasping grooves  on the upper handguard and beech cheekpiece in fine condition - with grey metal butt-plate. The rifle and scope all show matching numbers as expected. This late production rifle was made in 1944, as shown once again on the wrist.  All the standard sniper modifications have been made, a) cheek-piece, b) modified rear sight with battlesight ground away, c) scope mounting pads on the right side of the receiver, d) additional sling swivle in front of the magazine.  Additionally, other markings / stamping indicating work carried out on the rifle at different locations, like the “S 51″ (the Holland & Holland conversion code) on the underside of the stock. The “T” on the right of the action. The “T R” on the wrist - all of these are indications of a genuine piece.

  

The barrel, bolt with serial number stamped on the back of the handle, receiver, magazine and trigger guard are all in a dark blue finish. The bolt body appears bright from use. The scope is finished in a higher polished blue, with the body marked, “Tel.SEG.No 32 MK3″ followed by “OS.2039A CTS No 19248″. The scope mounts are numbered “Z335″ and “Z336″. The optics are excellent with the scope body showing light handling wear, the windage and elevation knobs work freely. This excellent example also comes with the “BOYT .44″ leather sling as marked. The bore is good with strong rifling.

This is the kind of piece a collector or shooter will appreciate equally.
