No.4T FTR markings

[CINDERS]

So I had another look at the Stratton book and erred in my information (My apologies) but there is a kicker here according to the book the BK alphabet letters were used on 1947 production No.5 rifles?
Looking at the receiver one makes out the 2 T's but also BK 170** serial those with more experience may want to expand on this as did BSA utilize this on both types being produced as apparently the '45 - 47 BK was only for the No.5 rifles only of which there were 83,000 odd produced by BSA in that time frame

Further going into the figures again in Strattons book this serial does not match up with any of the ranges given for the prefixes! See pics

So, based on those figures, either the action is from a No 5 or there is a number 4 & a number 5 with the same number? But you mention it isn't in the range? 17080 seems to be in the correct range? 10000 to 19999
