New Mark 4 Barreled Actions

[rookie wildcat]

All,

Several years ago, I inherited some of my grandfather's belongings. Without a long a boring story, I have in my possession two Lee Enfield Long Branch No 4 barreled actions dated 1950. Both are still coated in cosmoline and one is still wrapped in the original paper. Both are stamped with a "T" on the action.

Due to some financial commitments, I am interested in selling these items but I have no idea what the collector value would be.

While I am not interested in gouging anyone, I am also not interested in giving them away.

I have had them for several years and, although I had planned to restore them but every time I seemed to get a few dollars forward, something seems to crop up and take it. So, here I am, please help me out with what you think they may be worth.

is it the action only without the other metal parts?

If so, I would guess $200.00 max.

To the best of my knowledge, Canada never converted 1950 Long Branches into snipers. The last LB factory snipers were made in 1945-46, on 1945 actions, the 90L series.

So, sadly, they really can't be real T conversions.

Well, I don't about what is what, but the one in the wrapper is clearly stamped with one "T" and the one without the wrap is stamped with a "T" and an inverted "T" superimposed below it.

This is the barreled action:

This is the ID of the No4MkI*

And this is the "T" inverted "T"

Late 1950-51 green parkerized Canadian Arsenals production. S/N in the 94L-95L range most likely.

The T does not mean sniper.

Still, a nice find.

If those were complete, matching, original rifles, as new, worth around $550-$600 or so.

Trade-ex has new CA buttstocks.

Thanks for your pics they answered my questions, your "T" is actually a poorly struck "I" the indication of a MkI barrel with 5 left handed grooves.
