*NUMBER IV MARK I (T) BRITISH SNIPER RIFLE. SN S39516. Cal. 303. These sniper versions of the Mark I were fitted with scope mounts on the left side of the receiver.

Rifle is also equipped with a spike bayonet and web frog as well as a leather sling with brass keepers. Also includes very nice British web scope case and transit chest. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Receiver retains approximately 95% of a possible re-finish dark gray Parkerizing as does the matching scope mount. Telescope is a number 32, showing better than 95% of orig enamel with crystal clear optics that show nearly new. It also has a red “W” and blue “B” painted on the sides. Scope caps are also excellent. Bbl shows better than 95% orig blue with just slight markings from having the bayonet taken on and off. Front sight and bands show better than 95% orig finish. Upper handguards are in exceptional condition with one or two very slight bruises in the front one. Lower guards, which are matching number to gun, are also in magnificent shape showing very little marks at all. Triggerguard and magazine assembly show better than 90% orig black matte finish. Buttstock and cheekpiece are in excellent condition (though not matching) with just a minimal of bruising as is the brass buttplate. A very nice Number IV sniper rifle with crisp action and excellent bright and shiny bore. 4-34081 BK124 (3,300-4,550)
