A nice looking No4 hunting carbine conversion

Attachment 43943Hey guys, one item I am finding hard to source in numbers are the bottom front end cap retaining pins. Also top brass rivets, although I can use the old ones I cut off the end of the hand piece with care. Anyone wishing to sell some of these in quantity my email is bcel@xtra.co.nz (are we allowed to give our email addresses out on this post?)

These pins are a stock size rod aren't they? They are one of the SWG/number drill sizes from the 4BA stable I seem to recall. Should be easy to find in bar/rod form. In the latter days of the No4, we used to get it in rod form as I'm sure(?) it was also used as the axis pin for the sear and trigger. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.......

We now have a new baby. The 16" Tactical version which in this case had been previously converted to 7.62x39. Used a commercial spec 30mm dia. AR15 tube and buffer assembly which required some machining and is bolted in through the rear of the stock.
