British Enfield Sniper No.4 Mk1(T) SMLE 303

Post by Miller Tyme »

Took a flier at an Enfield No.4 Mk1 Sniper today, some unanswered questions about this rifle, but it was the consensus of several respected collectors that I couldn't get hurt for the price.

All that's left now is the waiting. :crazy.gif:

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

nice find MT. Your search for a transit box and contents can sometimes outweigh the price of the rifle.

Can you educate the uneducated on some of the unanswered questions. I couldn't look at one and tell you if it was real, re-snipered, reproduction (Not meant to deceive), or outright fake (Meant to deceive).

Does the scope have a maker's name? Is it 4 power?

Just received the rifle and as I am typing this there are countless experts looking it over to help me determine if I got a Legit P.O.F. No4 Mk1 (T) or a good deal on a No32 Mk3 scope and mount.

Still gathering info on my No4Mk1 (T), but it looks like it isn't POF ( Pakistani Ordinance Factory ) marked, but rather ROF marked. Some consensus is starting to build that what I have is a very rare early production Fazakerley No4 Mk1 that was converted to a (T) by Enfield, before H&H took over producing them.

Should have more info early next week, :thumbsup:

One of my 3 "most wanted" . I don't like any of the Mk.4 sights, I prefer the Mk. 1. Having the scope would be gnarly.
