So at last here's the story on my No4C carbine. This is also my first attempt at uploading pictures so I hope it works.

I acquired this rifle from a friend who is helping me to source parts for a .375/303 Lee Speed recreation on a Long Lee action (this will be the subject of another thread as it goes along).

The rifle is like new in all regards but two: the elevation pointer on the Lyman 48 is damaged and the 100yd leaf of the backsight has been filed down so as to not interfere with the sight picture through the Lyman.

This rifle, according to a BSA 1930 catalogue is a No4C carbine (Bush Pattern) with a 20 1/2 " barrel and chequered best French walnut stock

On the subject of Lyman sights, I see that the rifle pictured in Story's post (I believe it is a BSA No4B rifle, by the way) has a Lyman 48 installed in a very professional way. The insatllation on my rifle is also professionally done which causes me to wonder if BSA was offering them as an option from the factory. There is no mention of this in their catalogues. Has anyone else run across this?

So, hopefully, here are the pictures:
