My new arrival, an early Mk2 target No4

[RJW NZ]

Fresh in the door, courtesy of a very nice seller, does anyone know when the Mk2's began production? This seems very early, what with the converted no4 mk1 wood and all. There's zero stamps on the wrist, can anyone ID the maker from the serial lumber PF 318154?
I think it has 4 groove rifling, I'm not sure of the barrel maker yet as I haven't had a look inside. The barrel is stamped ball burnished, my first rifle with that feature, nice to have.

On the underside the trigger guard has had about a one inch extension welded onto it to increase the bearing area, somewhat on the same theory as the L42, does anyone know of 'K&H' as a gunsmith/accurizer? I've never heard of them.

The seller showed me images of the bedding, it has the classic parker hale? type, a small bearing pad under the knox area 1 inch square, and then a 2-3 inch bearing area at the mid band, upper and lower. All very interesting.

Thanks if you know of any on the questions.

(the image manager isn't working, I'll try posting them again soon./ Solved, I switched over to Internet Explorer instead of fire fox)
