I acquired a Faz 9/44 No5 Mk1 recently in the low 'B' 3 digit s/n range and there are two things about the rifle which I am unsure about.

1, The rifle has a squire front cut front end which I cannot find any reference to or any photos of a similar looking rifle. The stock also has no numbers on it but the hand guard is marked N22 with WD arrow on the inside.

2, There are also numbers on the L/H side of the receiver wrist which appear to read WR93168 which again I cannot find any reference to. The L/H wrist has been factory linished up to the point where the numbers are but no attempt has been made to remove them.

The rifle also appears to have had a replacement No4 bolt fitted at some point with ‘0’ bolt head which is Britishicon marked with WD arrow etc. The bolt is marked in the lug grove with a large 'R' with the s/n on the handle and no other barred out numbers. Apart from that, the rifle is stock No5 with ‘ALL’ of the weight reduction features in place including the hollowed out stock bolt.

Can anybody help?
