    Thanks Gents, that's exactly the info I needed and I have enough to go on now. I have loaded up 50 rounds in the range of 37-38gr and we will see how they come out, I'm off to test on Friday.

    A 1943 Maltby No4mk1 that was FTR'd at some point and updated to MK2, interestingly there are no FTR marks and they simply stamped another "I" behind the Mk I already there. Its also been "Regulated by Fulton" at some point.

    It's in great condition, except for the barrel which looks like a sewer pipe. It has bad pitting all the way from throat to muzzle. There is well defined rifling the whole way and I have lapped the barrel to take most of the roughness out. Hopefully the pits just fill up with copper and it shoots ok. It came with a PH5C Rear Sight, which I have swapped out for the original mk1 sight, I also gave the wood work a tidy up, checked all the bedding etc and gave everything a good scrub.

    I'm planning to shoot this at the TLRS Surplus Steel match at the end of the month if it behaves itself.
