NavyShooter, thank you for sharing the pics. In my dreams this happens often to me : the bell is ringing and the friendly UPS man brings me a No.4 MKI (T) . And then ? The clock rings and the rifle is gone with the wind.

Someday dreams became truth.

Regards

Gunner

Took a couple of months to get a new No. 4 Mk 1 fore-stock over from Springfield, convert the wood to No 5 spec and do the Acragel bedding. Took even longer to hand polish the wood with linseed oil and pumice dust to get the sheen. Had to remove the patchy green oil coating on the barrel and rust blue the metal. Very glad that the two stage trigger pull is now actually even better after bedding.

After about fifty rounds quick fire, the heat flimmer prevents taking accurate aim. I´d never seen a long butt stock (marked "L") before and I especially appreciate the Parker Hale (had a -1 lense made to fit the aperture receptacle).

Villiers, great looking LE ! Now i have three questions to you: How long have you polished the wood with pumice dust , where can i get it and are there different granulations ?

Yes, Gunner. There´s differing grades. You need the "dust" & can get it in arty crafty paint shops (or from your dentist). And it takes ages to do. Best remove the action and barrel and start off with really fine sand paper. Carry on with very fine wire wool. And then it´s the pumice dust and linseed oil for hours on end.

Thanks villiers, i`ll try it and even if i get a looong white Beard. Thats O.K. for this result.

On the topic of carbines, here's a No6 and a No5 together for comparison.

I was wondering how long it would be until the No.6 was brought out mate

Sorry gents, it's a long standing joke about what is arguably the most photographed rifle in the world
