some questions on a new No4mk1*

[jessehh]

I just have a quick question about my new to me No4 Mk1*. It has FTR on the side with a date of 1963. On the receiver it has No4Mk1* but no "US property" markings. All the bits are of different makes, some "C" stamped and some "S" stamped. The butt is SA stamped. The plus side is that the bore is shiney and the barrel and receiver "match". Now the questions, is the serial number original (doesn't look ground down or molested) to the manufacturer? The serial number is 6 digits long. Was this an Indian rebuild (has "ishy screw in place)?
This is intended to be a shooter so I really wasnt worried about the value of matching this and that, I just would like a little more info then I can find on the interwebs.
Thanks in advance,
jesse
If she shoot well enough I might try and make it a fake sniper No4. Also, the first pic is of my No1Mk111* and my k98.
