Picked up a No4 Mk1 FTR, with FTR-matched bolt. Has that black paint (suncorite?) on the metal parts and magazine, paint in good shape and clearly original since FTR marks are stencilled through the paint. Bore quite nice, stock very nice dark stain with the grooved rear handguard. Really a beautiful rifle with a dark walnut-like stock and good metal finish.
Paid $170, more than I normally would have, but I had promised the seller I'd buy one of the No4's he brought. I passed on a No4 Mk2 (FTR'd) that was in rougher shape (the one I had expected to buy).
Anyway, I figure once all the current No4's are gone, I'll feel better about the price. This is the one on which the rear sight won't lay all the way down.
