Need to know which wood (furniture) is correct for my No.4 MK1,dated 1944,serial #BL189**.I have no stock for it and I want to put it back original,just like it was when it left Maltby,or as close as I can get it.
I have researched this matter extensively for the past month.I know Walnut and Beech was used.There is no FTR stamp on it.From what I have read,Beech was used after they FTR'ed them.
My question is, did any of them get a Beech wood stock when it was first made?
Also,is the Ribbed Rear Handgaurd original for a Maltby issued gun?
I have seen many Long Branch and Savage with them.
What kind of stamp markings would be on the wood for a Maltby?
Please excuse the quality of the pictures,had to use Phone camera.
