What happened after FTR.

**Butch Parker** · 10-18-2007 06:17 PM

My no4 mk1 Faz has been FTR'ed. It is a very nice clean rifle. The metal is painted black and the stock has a very nice smooth finish, I would say semi-gloss. All the #'s match and the bore looks pretty good. I am curious as to what happened to rifles after they were FTR'ed. Would the stock be finished to such a high degree by the British armorers during the rebuild?

Thanks
Butch Parker

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

No, but it's possible the rifle got re-issued and some trooper rubbed it daily with linseed oil icon

in a barracks over the years.

It's also possible someone in civilian life has sanded and refinished the stock.

Have any pics you can post for us to judge?
