Just bought a Moltby No.4 Mk.1 this afternoon. The buttstock is pieced at the heel and toe, and the fore-end has the "Dreaded Ishapore Screw". I put 20 rounds through it when I got it home, and it shoots about 3 1/2" at 100 yards. Not all that fantastic, but pretty good considering these 67 year-old eyes.
Anyway, I'm going to send the metal work off to Dean's Gun Restoration ("Life's Too Short To Shoot An Ugly Gun"), and would like to find a nice walnut stock set for it. I looked at Springfield Sporters web site, and found that they have beechwood stock sets for about $75, but would really prefer walnut.
Anybody out there have a reliable source for a walnut stock set for a No.4 Mk.1???????
