No4 mk2 target rifle

[ssj]

Thanks, I guess it depends on what I find when I open it up. I think that crack will be more than a surface thing as it passes through the dowel hole. I also suspect it could need other work inside on yes the draws and/or main screw.

I have a PH and an AJP so a Fulton would complete a 3 way collection on the last of the no4 mk2s converted to target rifles.

Interesting that dowel, neither of my guns which are earlier (I think) have this, yet this later Fulton does, but an earlier Fulton a friend has doesnt. Earlier PH's than my one do ie I cant determine if its a date related "fashion" or a good reason. Does anyone know if there is a method/reason to determine if it was needed or not? Could it be to do with a particular class of shooting?

This is just a guess: Instead of simply gluing a crack, I've seen woodworkers insert a dowel at the end of a crack to stop a crack from spreading any further. This might be the reason for its location on this particular gun. As 303t says, check for recoil sloppiness in the drawers.
