Also, correct me if im wrong, but when a No.4 rifle went through FTR, along with the improved trigger, a strengthened pattern of bolt,{using a higher grade of steel}, elimination of the hole in the bolthandle, and a new type of spring and 3/32-in. diameter steel ball to repace the spring and plunger for the rear sight.
