I am restocking a couple of No.4 rifles. One is a Maltby, the other a Long Branch. Nothing special, just nice very clean sporters with the fore armscut back and reworked. Actions and metal are still untouched and very nice, I am just restocking them. I found all the little doo-dads and thingy-magigs, barrel bands, end clips, hand guard rings, screws, almost everything to mount it up.
It was fairly easy to go on line shopping for No.4 parts, most still available with the exception of the pins used to secure the fore arm end cap and also the reinforcing strap that is riveted across the back of the fore arm. So I go surfing and find that four little pins are going to cost me quite a bit. I found some in States but they dont want to ship 'gun parts' to Canada. Others I found in UK and will cost an arm and a leg to ship. So I will fabricate them. Can somebody please measure one of these pins and let me know from what diameter wire it was made? It is a straight pin with notches in the ends which secures the end cap onto the fore end tip. I remember gun shows and shop drawers being awash with these common parts, they seem to have dried up. Never seen the back straps on the loose other than the odd auction listing.
