    Funny you posted this as i made an almost identical repair to my LEC butt stock.
    In adition to having a butchered round hole on the left side it also had been cut about 1/4 of an inch to fit (i imagine) a rubber pad)
    I haven't got to matching the finish on it yet but since the rest of the wood work will need staining this will most surely get the same treatment.

    Our carbines appear to be "brothers from another mother!"

    Nice repair work. I have found that repeated applications of RLO w/stain eventually blend the wood (almost). It is a shame when these carbines get butchered or "customized."

    But it is satisfying when all the repairs are done, and parts are hunted down and installed.

    Again, nice work

    Excellent, Roger. It's a very accurate little rifle. The fore-sight is a friction fit and works a treat.
    I'll have to see if I can figure out a way of mounting a No4 rearsight at the right height next.

    Here's a shot of the rifle and a scaled down "Cabin Fever Challenge" (Rifle Chair Chanel, You Tube) for use at 20m, which is the extent of my garden. If it's worked there's also a shot "down range".
