Did any of the 'regulated by fultons', or Parker Hale enfields, make it to the US in their target shooting heyday 1920's-1950's? They seem to have covered the commonwealth pretty well, but I could imagine the US would have its own rifles in that niche.
'regulated, by Billy the kid', that I'd like to see...
Passed up one in Tucson many years ago. No4 "regulated by Fultons"
Now what would a irish delinquent from the slums of New York know about accurising a rifle?
how well would one expect a fulton regulated no.4 to shoot?

That screw is in the same place, plus its too low to stop left/right rocking of the forearm, something else that fultons got into.Quote:

I've got one like that, they are self-tapping screws which cut into holes drilled in the action to hold the forend tight onto the receiver.
I've also had one done with threaded inserts.
what about the others, there are two here that look like what you describe, the front most one seems bedded and not ever removed, a lag screw? And then at the bottom corner of the forend butt there's a dowel plug I've never seen before, any thoughts on its purpose?Quote:

Lastly, whats it shoot like?
