    Has anyone seen a source for ...?

    I'm scratching my head trying to remember which enfield parts seller/website that several years ago I bought a T sniper cheek pad from; at least thats what they were advertised as.
    What arrived was a really lovely, hard grained, light colored, nicely finished, HT type of cheek pad, which is the same as a no4 mk1 T type but has a gentle hollow where ones face rests.
    It may have been Numrich but the current item in their online catalog isn't very clear and looks dark and heavy. Has anyone bought such from them recently and know if its the hollow type, or know who has them?
    thanks
    My enfield varminter (OK, Lithgowicon Hornet) needs one.
    I'll probably velcro it on.
    I still get a weird twitch putting enfield and varminter together in the same noun ...

    ds-solutions here in the UKicon do have both Beech and Wallnut cheek pieces. They dont list any at this time as I belive they are out of stock... but they should be getting some in soon.
    its an item that they always re stock.. just sometimes takes a little time.

    That looks to be an Ausralian type rather than Britishicon.

    Thanks for the help gents, thats all very helpful.

    I've had the chance to hunt some tin cans a few days ago, its a rifle that puts a smile on your face to shoot thats for sure. Its balanced, light, modest but noticible recoil, The sheer speed of that little pill commands more than a little respect! And the target gets just shredded, there's no other word for it.

    Send an email to bassanobob (click here).

    He used to sell repro No.4(T) cheek pieces and they were pretty nice.

    Also, did you see the article titled Mechanical Blueprints and Specifications for the Enfield No.4 Mk1(T) Sniper Rifle (click here) in the Technical Articles for Milsurp Collectors and Re-loaders (click here)?

    It had a nice article in it on the fitting of the cheekpiece to a No.4(T)....

    Regards,
    Badger

    I think the ones your looking for are sold by AIA with the new 7.62mm Enfields.
