Anyone have any suggestions or recommended suppliers for ancillary parts, Sling, oil bottle, pull through etc etc.

You'll pick these up just about anywhere. The armourer at Bisley does a few as does Fultons. A visit to the Phoenix at Bisley will provide you with all sorts from the dealers. I wouldn't rush; you'll come across the bits you want as you go along.

I have some of the wooden chamber cleaning sticks, plus the tapered wooden cleaning rod chamber guides...
May have a spare canvas sling somewhere too.
Pull-throughs are good as a curio, but get an Otis kit for real cleaning.

I hope you have deep pockets, because you're going to need them. I started with one, then got five, then 15 or so. By 21+ the police decided to make me an RFD, so that I would give their variations team & FEO a rest..... that really got things going, and soon I was up to....
..... 250+.....

A part-restored example; now with a new owner.

Very nice looking rifles. I have my first FEO visit coming up and have a .303 as one of my slots. Planning on a No 4 Mk 2 also.
Valmont firearms and ds solutions have all sorts of spares. Then there are the specialist rifle clubs.

Lovely rifles there. Now I know I'm being wildly optimistic, but is there any chance of seeing a few photos of your collection please?

My first fullbore rifle was also a No.4 Mk.4 ROF Faz, dated 1955, UF batch which I've been told was the last batch to be produced there.
Since then I've begun to collect more, will add photos once I've uploaded them to photobucket
