New old No4 MK1 TR owner with mismatch question

[Roger Payne]

I'd agree with Peter on the wood.
BSA always sent out their rifles with the lightened bolt handle knob (hollowed out). Earlier Faz rifles also had this feature (?& possibly ealry LB's ---- someone will pick me up on this if I'm wrong), but most manufacturers soon dropped this feature presumably to save machining time. For some reason BSA always maintained it. Indeed if anyone out there has a wartime BSA No4 (T or otherwise) with a 'genuinely matching original bolt' that isn't hollowed out, I'd be so bold as to say have a really good look at it.......
