Still a few buggered screws and needs a front sling band and screw and down the road maybe a replacement rear sight slider if I can find one. A bit of rust inside but it gets better the more I flush it with oil.. Bore is sweet. Bolt, receiver and nose matching.

Nice, nice, nice...love the bit of figure in the front furniture. Nice looking rifle.
Is that the original wood or an after market set? It is beautiful!
The butt is a replacement, fair match but not the perfect socket fit. Had to make up two shims from a cat food can to get the tilt and bottom of the socket snug. Bore cleaned up like new and has a decent crown, butt trap has proper complete kit and a 1942 original sling decent bayonet and dated 42 frog. Pleased as punch and it was part of a two for one deal #5 both with new canvas bags with extra slings.Broke out a box of fresh 1970's Greek HXP for this one.

Even a Monkey can have a good day.
Cheers
That turned out really nice.
Range report soon?
Usually sliders for sale on the ebay UK site under lee enfield
Have a '42 No. 1 Mk III* with similar wood. And both bayonets. Always amazes me that the quality of a war time battle riffle stock would be that good.
Try Marstar for parts. Haven't looked there recently though.
