A new addition has been added to the British Service Rifles section in our MKB (Milsurp Knowledge Library)............
1944 Enfield No.4 Mk1(T) Sniper Rifle (click here and go to bottom of page)http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?p=886104
This is an interesting piece with a provenance. According to the email correspondence of Captain Peter Mason, this "all matching" and "all correct" No.4(T) used in our photo pictorial, was a service rifle from "4 Commando" (marked on butt) and belonged to Sergeant Taffy Evans, who served with Mason throughout WWII. It went ashore at D-Day, across France and then to Walcheran Island. The rifle came with an action cover, serial number matched No.32 MkIII scope can, ammo pouches and a sniper veil. Somewhere during its life, this No.4(T) was switched from using a standard No.15 Mk1 Transit Chest, to using a custom modified Bren Gun Transit Chest.
