No4 war time furniture

[Surpmil]

Most wartime British rifles appear to have been stocked with walnut, with some beech being introduced in 1945 - earlier for replacement No1 furniture.

We can be certain Beech was in use by 1941. Have had two such MkI forends, one an original fitting to a ROFM 1941 Maltby No4(T) in the 11--- SN range. Have also seen others, also MkI forends, on 1941 Maltby's.

Haven't noticed whether they were used elsewhere in that time frame.
