    No1 Mk3 vollet forends on ebay

    Lee Enfield No1 MK III Forearm with provision for volley sights | eBay

    This oneis safe to expose, the price is up there.
    I just did a search under enfield sight and up popped 2-3 volley fore ends, and the above one looks like new made teak, perhaps. I wonder if there's a new source popping up.

    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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    The good news is that they've modified the wrong type of forend-no "belly" in the wood aft of the band. Easy to tell these apart from originals.

    Steve H is absolutely correct. And take a look at the inletting for the volley site plate under high magnification--really ghastly and defintely not mil spec. Keep your hand off your wallet!

    Its the same when some use a late manufactured No1 Mk111 fore-end to build up No1 Mk V, and try and pass it off as original, stands out like a sore thumb, and I don't mean the sight protector cut outs being filled in, its the belly or lack of, that always stands out to me.

    Is it difficult to modify a fore-end with the 'belly' to fit the volley sights? Is there somewhere in the UKicon that could do it?
