i was recently looking at a no4 mk1 for $179 at a local gun shop and i have some questions about the condition of the gun, the band for the buttstock on the right had no markings and the left side just said "1943 no4 mk1".
the firing pin was rusted and the inside of the bolt sleeve looked servicable. the bore did look decent and had minimal pitting. the bolt outside was pretty scratched up and had some pitting. there was some light rust where the hand guard met the receiver. the bluing looked ok but some was gone. do you guys the this rifle would be a good fixer uper or do you think i should pass and look for a better example?
thanks
