Exceptional Long Branch No. 4 MKI T Bolt Action Sniper Rifle with Scope, Scope Case and Transport Chest

Manufactured in Canada by Long Branch of Ontario and later inspected at the London Proof House, this is an exceptional 1945 production Long Branch SMLE Number No4 MKI rifle upgraded to the "T" sniper pattern. Introduced for WW II, the No. 4 MKI T was the go-to sniper rifle for Great Britain and the Commonwealth of Nations for decades. Blade front and folding peep rear sights with the fixed "battle sight" properly absent from the latter for scope clearance, Long Branch markings on the left side of the receiver, "crown/GP" London proofs on multiple parts, and the tonnage marks on the right side of the muzzle. The proper two-piece mounts are installed on the receiver, the scope base is numbered to match the receiver, and the scope is marked as a C Number 32 MK. 3 and marked "C O S 2039A/R.E.L. CANADA/192-C/(broad arrow)", with "CB" in blue and "W" in red. The stock is marked with "broad arrow in C" proofs and has a raised cheekpiece and a blackened steel buttplate. Included with the rifle is a green painted hardwood transport case with stenciled "No. 15. Mk. 1." nomenclature, "B.H.G. 1944" marked brown leather lens caps, canvas sling, and a canvas covered scope case with faint Canadian nomenclature.

ConditionExceptionally fine as arsenal upgraded, with 98% of the arsenal black finish, showing some light handling marks and edge wear overall. Traces of heavy storage grease are present on the metal, especially in the low/protected areas. The stock is excellent, with some mild dents. Optics are sharp and crisp, with some mild exterior wear. Mechanically excellent.
