Hey, I'm trying to put a full wood stock on my Lee Enfield (has a plastic stock on it right now). the markings on the action say No4. MkII. 8/53 I got a full wood stock for the No4 enfield and all the metal fittings off ebay. It doesn't look like it's ever been installed on a gun. the stock part had to be shaved down to fit in flush with the receiver and the long piece with the magazine-well had to be shaved abit on the right side since my receiver has a rectangular projection out of the right side.
Here's where more fun starts, the handguard ring fits nicely on the receiver/barrel... but when i try to slip the rear handguard into it, it doesn't fit by quite abit... so i'd assume more shaving of the wood?
When i put the middle band on, it seems as though the wood is slightly too fat and i can't put the screw at the bottom of the band back on.
and when i try to put the front band on, it seems like again... the wood+metal caps are too fat and i can't even get the band on.
could someone help me out?
