I am restoring a Lee Enfield LEC1 carbine and need a buttplate - which I cannot find. The curvature and screw locations of an SMLE buttplate are different. I can get a MLM/MLE (Long Lee) buttplate. I know the heel extension on a MLM/MLE is longer, but do not know if the rest of the profile and screw locations would match the LMC1 butt. It looks like a simple operation to rework the heel extension to fit the LEC1.

Does anyone know if the MLM/MLE buttplate with a modified heel extension would fit?
