Picked up a 1943 Maltby today, serial number AT1843x. Excellent condition. Wood is excellent-plus, a light brown with nice grain. Metal finish almost 100%. Bolt matches. Bore is two-groove and also excellent. I am very pleased with this rifle. What can anyone tell me about Maltby?

I have a 1950 Fazakerley I got from J&G a while back. It also went through Ishapore, but all numbers match including the magazine. The stock is dark brown, rough and ugly but this rifle SHOOTS! At 100 yards it's dead on and was so right out of the box. This is the rifle that started this madness...
