original finish on carbine?

[No4Mk1(T)]

The black paint is called Suncorite and is the correct finish for your No.5.
Nice carbine you have there. To bad about the D&T but at least you don't have to worry about shooting it.

Thank you sir! Nice to know that. Can that paint be found, or is it made of unobtainium? Anything special about it, any acceptable substitutes? Perhaps any automotive finishes, like from Eastwood Co.?

I don't know that I'll refinish/refurbish this carbine, but since it's already been D&T......
