I am a Short Range Tactical Shooter
I have a No4Mk1/2 that benefits significantly from a fouled barrel. On the other hand however, I have a No4Mk1 that likes to have a fairly clean barrel when it is shot. The No4Mk1/2 Maltby has a M47C BSA barrel installed and has been cutdown to 22.5". The rifle performs best when the barrel is hot and fouled. The 1944 No4Mk1 Maltby is technically brand new with the barrel not even broken-in yet and if the barrel is not brushed out after 25 shots or so, the groups tend to open up a bit...
