Late Fazakerly FTR

[Lance]

The drought is over!! I finally found a rifle I needed for the collection (that was in the budget). My collection of Fazakerly FTR'd Mk 1/2 and 1/3 has grown by one more, I located an obtained the rare 1958 conversion.

Of interest to the collectors is that it is was used, and mostly made up of Fazakerly '55 and '56 dated bits with a few '57. The trigger guard and magazine follower are Savage, plus it is my first post WW2 FTR with a stamped rear sight.

The origins of the receiver are a bit of a mystery. I have not stripped it down but it is devoid of any obvious markings that would point it toward a WW2 receiver making me believe it is either a post war Fazakerly or a spare receiver.

The serial number is 650ish units higher than my '57 Fazakerly issued serial number.
