I read your article on the Canadian CNo. No. 7 rifle. But forward it on in the interest of furthering our Enfield knowledge. Firstly- - the No. T sniper sling swivel was equipped with a longer shaft on the swivel itself that allowed full rotation of the swivel itself without catching on the cover loop. Secondly- - the later target swivels from Parker Hale had a shorter attaching stud shaft and therefore would not be able to swivel on the mounting shaft/stud, without catching the cover loop. For this reason it is a small issue but one can assess the originality of at least one item on a No. T, if the sling swivel clears the loop we have an original sniper swivel.

If it does not, move on and check all other items on the sniper to assess whether or not the claim that may have been made that the rifle is original. They advertise their T rifle as all original when in fact the rifle was a bitster or a restoration from a sported sniper. Part Of Speech. I do not know however whether the Canadian CNo.

DD(E)3. 69. 9. While I am not in a position to argue with or against Terry's points with reference to the sling swivels used on British rifles, as I have only had a half dozen or so of these on which to compare, I would suggest that in Canadian service, the swivel is the same, and that on both the rifle types in question, the swivel is identical. Feedback by . In reference to terryinvictoria's feedback, here's an example of a No. T) sling swivel with British government . As shown in the pics below, it also happens to be the only one that's marked . An interesting anomaly of the target swivel is that many Cno. They are likely broken off by the rotation of the target swivel. We'd be interested in hearing from anyone else with empirical data who could shed some more light on this.

The post war commercial item that fakers use is slightly longer and will just clear the small wire loop. This allows it and therefore the sling to rotate through 3. The sling can and will twist. If this small point isn't right, ask yourself WHY. It left military service with the right one...... That's if it is a true No.

T or L4. 2! Real Mc. Coy, WILL foul the wire loop. A post war commercial will NOT and will rotate through 3.

Being anal about the swivel... On the subject of the swivel, it's not meant to replace anything. It is in ADDITION to. The snipers were (and are) taught to use the different variables of sling and sling positions and the choice is left to them.

Some ignore the SWIVEL, sling, triger guard and some used it but it was their choice. The real Mc. Coy were phosphated and painted and didn't always carry a makers mark. Those early wartime ones from H& H had a tiny S5. BSA, for the No. 8 rifle, did carry the M4. Faz for their No. Don't forget that there were TWO sorts.

The COMMERCIAL one had a longer thicker part of the shaft that would enable the loop part to clear the little loop on the trigger guard while the UK Mo. D spec one had a deliberately short shaft that would stop at the loop and prevent the sling twisting. If you have a LONG one, it belongs to a commercial target rifle. You can shorten the long thick part shaft on a lathe to make a good replica but you'll have to shorten the screwed part and recut the thread.

If I remember, it's a 1/4. Or one day I'll tell you about restoring nmy Mini and cutting 2. TPI BSF threads when what I REALLY wanted was 2. TPI UNF. Well, it's an easy mistake to make! All the No. 4T rifles were slowly modified with the front trigger guard swivel as a result of snipers being taught to use the single point sling method as an alternative to the well established top and bottom sling loop method. So both with or without are correct. But, be warned, there are two sorts of front trigger guard swivel.
