Yeah, they rattle. You have a No4 MkIII??
Describe it to me!~Muir
...I was wondering that too!!
KEY THINGS?
Have you read the books by Peter Laidler?
What about the Ian Skennerton books?
Have you read
all the articles concerning fake 4(T)'s on the MilSurps Forum?
As with lots of things in life, research IS key - but with 4(T)'s - even more so!!
There are TOO MANY things to look for to allow a quick couple of lines reply on a forum post to guarantee that you'll not get burned with a repro.
Are you JUST after a 4(T) with scope, or are you after the C.E.S. in the correct transit chest with all the bells & whistles ??
How about another option?
One of the modern repro brackets - add reducing spacers - fit a genuine period Lyman Alaskan scope = just saved you about £3K
You then end up with a very close approximation of one of the variations that the Canadians issued...
Oh, IF you do go down the 4(T) route send me a PM - I make all the leather accessories for them & also a few others CES items like the correct chamber cleaning stick.
