Lee Enfield .303 No4T - Ser No: 89L9074
Summary
Converted by Thames Valley Guns in 2017, this replica No4T is in superb condition. This Mk1* was manufactured by Longbranch in 1945 and was part of the Italian contract. The rifles condition is outstanding with the rifle firing only 250rds since its rebuild. As a result the bore is nearly perfect, metal work is very good with 99% finish and matching numbers. Woodwork has been completely restored and bedded as part of the build. The replica No32 scope is the Canadian version and was supplied by SARCO Inc in the US.
Receiver
Metalwork is very good with no damage and blacking is 99%. Receiver markings are limited even for a No4 and consist of model, serial number, proof marks and inspectors stamps. There is no wear to the receiver and the bolt cycles smoothly without any excess movement. The rifle is fitted with a Mk1 rearsight and has been correctly modified for a T conversion
Bolt
The bolt has been gauged for correct headspace and firing pin protrusion. Bolt face is excellent and unmarked, Bolt head is a No1 and has no overturn. Together with the bolt body, the bolt assembly has the customary proof marks and matching number with the receiver.
Barrel
The original barrel has minimal wear, the rifling is sharp, bright and the lead is clearly intact having only fired 250rds. The muzzle has been crowned and the foresight blade is an interference fit with a locking screw and all the metalwork retains its original finish.
Woodwork
The furniture is walnut and has been completely restored and correctly bedded by TVG. Woodwork is fitted correctly and nothing is loose. However, there is some minor transit marks incurred by the previous owner. King screw has been replaced by the loop type and the rear sling swivel is the correct type for the 1907 sling. Butt is fitted with a brass butt plate, is standard size and has the traditional manufacturers markings.
Accessories
The rifle is supplied with a 1907 sling and has the customary pull-through and oil bottle.
