Israeli No4 T rifle origin? Faz or BSA?

[Roger Payne]

Is that just a ding in the metal, or is it a staking pin I see on the front flat of the front body pad (previous post)?

I will have to have better look, it is an Israeli No4 Mk1 T. It seems to be all correct to me, although there is very little information on these conversions. If somebody does have any information regarding the rifles or the scopes that would be great.

[Mr303]

They could be pins, even under the magnifying glass I can't tell, if they are, they are a very tight fit.

Interesting if the front pad does turn out to be pinned as well as screwed & (presumably) soft soldered.

It sure looks like a pin. We've all seen screws that have been messed with and are out of original position, this would end that.

I've had one thru my shop that had the front pad set back 3/16" from the front of the receiver.
Unscrewed and unsoldered the pad and found a partial hole in the front, to hard to drill......put it back together, just another never say never.

[Mr303]

Certainly screwed and soft soldered, pins front and rear? Bloody hard to tell, I suppose that is all they could be, why else would those humps be there.

pins front and rear?

It sure LOOKS like it...
