    Plainfield Paratrooper Question

    On the Paratrooper stock, does anyone know how the rear pistol grip is attached? Mine has an ever so slight movement and there are no screws visible for tightening.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Did you look in the inside of the stock as well as the bottom of the grip?
