British No.4 Mk I Enfield .303 British Bolt Action Sniper Configuration Rifle 25” C&R
Offers entertained but only serious customers!!!
No.4 Mk.I (T. LESS TELESCOPE). It is a very nice 1941 STEVENS-Savage. There is no “T” mark to indicate completion of the sniper conversion. Hundreds of Stevens-Savage No.4 rifles were sent to Holland and Holland, wartime code “S51” for conversion marked (under the stock) to sniper equipment but only a FEW were completed, but for an unknown reason, most were left unfinished. These had the cheek rest, modified Mk.I rear sight and scope pads (mounts) fitted. The scope is a lovely No.32 Mk.3 made in 1945. The scope bracket made by Rose Brothers in WWII So from what I can see, the rifle was partially converted, and has at some time after being sold surplus, acquired a scope set. This is common, as apparently the big surplus dealers stored the scope sets separate from the rifles and when selling, simply grabbed the needed number of scope cases. Research indicates the No.4 (T) database has been able to match up over two dozen sets of serial numbered components (scopes to rifle or scope case to rifle or scope). Rare find and great for ones WWII collection!
