[bones92]

Yes, sounds correct. Under the serial (under the M47C) should be "TR".

Buttstock should have "S51" on the toe behind the grip. Buttstock should have a raised cheek piece held on by two screws. Rear sight should have the battle sight ring milled off.

Sounds like you have the real deal! Pictures, please.

What is the S51 mean?

 

[bones92]

It's a mark put on by Holland & Holland once they custom fit new stocks to the No4(T) rifles they converted. No idea what it means, other than that most H&H snipers with original buttstocks will have this mark.

As I understand it, during WW2 each manufacturer was given a code to try and stop the Germans finding a rifle with H&H on it looking up a street directory and then bombing the H&H factory.
The code consisted of the area of the country (S=south, M=midlands, N=north) followed by an assigned number.
So BSA was M (midlands) 47 (BSA), and C was factory 3 Shirley.

H&H's makers mark, assigned by the MOD. There were hundreds of codes.

Holy crapp the No4T kicks ass. fantastick shooters. I am a bad shooter , but even me are shooting 9 s an 10s on 200 meters with this gun.

They're not often seen with that well-used, but cared for and original finish look. Usually they are either refinished, beat to heck or hardly used. I like it. The scope and mount have been painted post-war, but that's not surprising. Someone may have packed that through NW Europe in 44-45.

Theres a guy in South Carolina goes by the name of Brian Dick, sells a lot of British #4 (t) extras and the other stuff. Just sold a scope can to him a couple of months ago. He might have what your looking for.
