    Front pad area has never been milled & there's no signs of old solder, finish under the areas the pads would cover is same as elsewhere............

    I wouldn't want to pee on your friend's cornflakes Husk, but I don't think that's a real one.

    What I should have said above, is that to date, I have yet to see a 4T built on a UKicon produced rifle dated 1942. There may be a few out there, but I've yet to see one.

    "Diplomacy; the art of a telling a person to go hell in such a manner that he asks for directions".

    Someone had a go and gave up: note the little wear spots where a no doubt repro front pad sat for while while Bubba pondered his next steps. Stripped off No4(T)s don't look like the holes were drilled last week.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
