This example was manufactured in 1944. There were over 26,000 of these rifles manufactured and they were used from World War II into the 1960s. It has a drift adjustable front sight and flip up elevation adjustable rear sight. The left side of the receiver is engraved "No. 4 MK. 1" with a "T" stamped behind it. The left side of the butt socket is marked "M47C/1944/E38466/TR". It is fitted with a smooth walnut forearm with hand guard and semi-pistol grip walnut stock with a removable screw on wooden cheekpiece and a smooth aluminum buttplate with trapdoor (empty). The front of the wrist is stamped with several proofmarks and "S.L.". The grip cap area is stamped "S 51". There is a "W" painted on the both sides of the buttstock. Comes with a L1A1 sniper scope that is marked on top of the tube "TEL. STG. L1A1/V5/1240-99-96-20". The mounting bracket is numbered "35018". Comes with a wooden storage crate with green painted exterior and web handles, a scope case and leather scope lens covers.

Very fine as arsenal refurbished to a sniper rifle. 90% plus of the blue/black finish remains with some high edge and handling wear along with scattered minor handling marks and a purple patina on the receiver. The rear sight blocks the scope from being mounted. The wood is very good with scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent. The scope is very good with clear optics. The case is also very good.
