Hey John, there's another arms fair at the motorcycle museum this Sunday. Any chance you'll be coming? I'd love to have a look at your 4T in the flesh. I can't be sure from the photo's, but I think there's a very good chance it is an original gutted barrelled action that has been rebuilt, including the dreadful repro front pad (the rear's a repro too, by the way). It would be great to see it up close in person, as it were!
Oops! Sorry, I crossed threads as it were. Suppose this should be in the 4T not the dig-up SMLE thread. Mea culpa.
ATB
Roger.
