Very Fine World War II British BSA No. 4 Mk I (T) Enfield Bolt Action Sniper Rifle with Matching Scope, Scout Regiment Spotting Scope, and Transit Chest

This BSA manufactured No. 4 Mk I (T) Enfield sniper rifle is fitted with a No. 32 Mk I scope and mount. "M47C/1944/N31670" marked on the left of the stock socket. The comb of the stock has a hardwood cheekpiece held on with two wood screws. Standard blade front sight and absent rear sight. Matching serial number "N31670" also marked on the bolt handle and stamped on the bottom of the forend. "16713" stamped on top of the wrist area of the buttstock matching the scope which is marked "TEL STG No 32 Mk III/OS 2039 A/AK&S No16713" above a broad arrow on the tube, with the standard post and cross-hair reticle pattern, and is fitted in a cast scope mount matching serial numbered to the rifle "N31670" (a few numbers overstamped) on the left. Includes a green painted No. 15 Mk. I wooden sniper rifle transit chest, brown leather sling, rifle scope case with original label inside the lid that reads "Telescope 16713/Serial No. N31670", brown leather rifle scope lens covers, and leather wrapped brass spotting telescope with leather case. Traditionally carried by the "observer" (or spotter) in a two-man sniper team, the Scout Regiment scope provided a high power optic that was very useful for spotting enemy forces that were either camouflaged or concealed in deep foliage, which could potentially include enemy snipers.

ConditionVery fine, retains 95% wartime arsenal applied gray finish and 90% blue finish. Wood is also very fine as arsenal refurbished, with some light handling marks and mostly crisp stampings. Mechanically excellent. Scope is very good, retains 70% gray finish with some light pitting on the tube, 70% black painted finish on the dial base, with clear optics. Spotting scope is very good, with non-viewable foggy optics. Transit chest is very good, with replacement leather carry handles.
