New No4 Mk1 Maltby

[tbonesmith]

Just got this 1942, Regulated by Fulton, Maltby No4 Mk1.
The wood has been sanded and is not in the most attractive condition, and the barrel is a replacement the date and year of 1967 is scribed into the knox by hand.
Not one screw is chewed, the barrel is tight and shiny, the trigger is good, the bedding could use a little tuning as the barrel is not perfectly centred, and the centre bedding block influences the barrel horizontally, this I'll tidy up.
The draws have been patched and fitted beautifully, there are draw screws through the stock into the wrist, and the foreend reinforcing band at the back has been further reinforced by the addition of a small metal thread and nut.
All in all a welcome find.
I have a No4 Mk2 similarly set up by AJP without the draw screws which shoots great, I hope this is on like that too!!!
