1942 Fazakerley No4 Mk1. Really nice rifle

The only 'import' mark is a tiny "U.K. .303 BR" on the left side of the receiver, and it cuts through the paint. Is this the original Suncorite finish? Thanks

It can't be original suncorite can it? The charger bridge bears the proof of the spot weld to hold it tight and that was done well after the fact wasn't it? A repair for a loose charger bridge?

Yes. Now I am researching that Suncorite was not applied to new rifles until '44 or very late '43 at the earliest. So this is post-production, but no FTR date as I have seen on others.

Thanks.
