No4Mk1T BSA 1944?

[Peter Laidler]

You've puzzled me Surpmill.......... If it's a 1944 rifle, why wouldn't it have a post 1941(?) beech fore-end that has the low right side mag cut off recess?

Apart from the fact that the forend has an old Fazakerley rifle number on it, I thought that all wartime BSA rifles - and especially those selected to be Ts - were built with walnut forends?

AFAIK, only Fazakerley started using beech during WW2, Maltby and BSA appear to have continued with walnut.
