This is what it looked like before bubba got his hands on it and butchered it. The stock has been sanded on the one in the photo though, unfortunately.

I'm not sure if the date makes it a No4 Mk1 or No4 Mk2, main difference being the trigger on the 1 is attached to the trigger guard while on the No2 it's attached to the receiver.

It looks like the only "cut & paste" done was on the stock and wood furniture, this is easy to replace as are the small metal pieces that go with it such as the front sight guard and barrel band.

Does it have any value as sporterized?

$100-$150 as a shooter.

That said, Rhineland arms was making the barrel, etc. needed to convert it to 45acp. Do that, get your tax stamps and cut the barrel down and put a suppressor on it, and you'll have your own fake DeLisle Carbine.
